I don’t know how i’ve never looked further into this before now, but, it is still possible to take the veterinary technician exam without the degree if I have 7000 hours of “practical” experience. I do. For the next few months I will be cramming my brain with every bit of information I can, and, come november I will be taking the test. Yeah, its just some letters that follow my name, but those stupid letters can make me more more money and give me an easier shot at finding a job. Ugh.
