  • In this video I discuss the important topic of veterinary technician wages. I disclose my starting wage, how I got raises, talk about earning potential, and review average (and above average) veterinary technician wages. (Hint, some techs make more than $100K a year!)

    I loved this video! i’m a tech student and people don’t talk about how to expand and move up the scale as a tech enough. it’s always encouraging seeing techs expanding and being appreciated! :)

      Thank you, and I agree! I recently read somewhere that people that stay with the same job for a long time are more likely to make less money than people who take new opportunities as they come up. Employers are more likely to offer pay increase to new employees than to existing ones. So keep that in mind!

      Thank you so much that's so exciting to hear! I am planning more in the coming weeks so if you have any requests I am all ears! (next video planned is likely ECG interpretation)

    This is something I wish more people talked about. I’ve been very hesitant to go into vet med because of the salary… but it’s always been in the back of mind that I have seen people do well in this career and that the salaries are definitely increasing, are are expected to excel in the upcoming years!

      It sucks that people are dissuaded from doing something they are interested in due to poor pay because the field needs people so badly. Hopefully we can get the field to the point where this is not the case anymore!

    I’m a semester one student with Penn Foster for Vet Tech. I wanna do VTS someday. Thank you for this video.

    Back here again, I have a video idea/suggestion for you... could you make a video about the VTNE? Break it down the way you do with these amazing videos? I appreciate you so much!

    • @jenniferlyonsvts
      @jenniferlyonsvts  2 дні тому

      Thanks for the idea! I’ll have to dust off the VTNE study books, as there are definitely a few categories I would be rusty in (parasitology, dentistry)…

    You’re proof that hard work pays off. My local VCA offered me $20 as unlicensed and would give me $25 as a new grad (when I complete it). I guess wages have went up since you started.

      I’m glad to hear they are offering you a decent starting wage! It only goes up from there!
