What Does a Vet Tech Do?

If your idea of the perfect job involves working with animals all day, then consider becoming a vet tech.
Helping animals is deeply rewarding. However, this career requires emotional stamina. In some cases you’ll be saving lives, delivering new animals into the world or helping them in their elder years.
Vet techs - also known as veterinary technicians, vet technicians or vet tech specialists (VTS) - have a wide variety of duties. They work under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian in clinics and veterinary hospitals.
They assist the veterinarian in many procedures, keep the office running smoothly and play a crucial role in working with pet owners. No day is ever the same.
Being a vet tech means more than looking after animals. A big part of the job involves talking with pet owners to explain their pet’s condition or give advice on how to properly administer a medication. Being in contact with animals and their owners requires patience and compassion. Strong personal skills will come in handy.

I don’t know why vet tech does such an important role, but get paid so little

That's a valid point....but the good news is that vet tech salaries are going up as the need for their skills grows.
