    Welcome!

    Are you going to an actual brick and mortar school or are you using an online program? Either way, good luck!

    I am currently pursuing my Associate's in Vet Tech and a BA in Bio with a concentration in Vet Tech. I have been in friggin' school since '07 >.< I was double majoring in English and Journalism, but in '10 they cut my Journalism degree, so I was stuck with 15 hours left with an English degree I was mainly taking for fun. Insert the degrees I should have went for to begin with: Vet Tech! This summer I will be done with my Associate's and my 2013 I will have 3 degrees, if I don't go crazy first!!

    That's certainly exciting! Good job with all the degrees :drinker: . My only concern for you is being able to repay student loans on a vet tech salary. It is an appallingly underpaid profession :angry:

    Truer words never spoken! But that's great that you've pursued so much education! I'd like to do the same.

    That would be of some concern if I had any student loans :P. Somehow I have gotten this far without owing my stupid college anything! I was salutatorian my senior year, got a lot of scholarships, and we have the TOPS program that gives you a certain amount of money for four years of college as long as you have a certain GPA. I have also gotten financial aid every year and have used my my dad as the "parent" for that. He certainly would not have gotten the best dad award when I was growing up, but his income is helping me now lol

    it's a brick and mortar school in the middle of the catskill mountains.

    we have actual hands-on animals and actually DO the procedures we learn! well, provided we have enough animals for almost 200 students =P I can't understand why schools wouldn't have animals to practice at least the basic procedures....Delhi does dentistries, spay/neuter and grooming clinics for shelter animals and community animals, and the students actually DO the procedures 90% of the time....
