Answer
1. I wanted to work with animals. (I used to be a primate biohazard tech)

2. I am the right hand of the drs I work for. The animal is your ulitmate responsibility

3. Typical workday?  appointments, surgery assisting, dentistry, etc..

4. College, college, college, and work for a vet if you can to see if thats what you really want to do. It is NOT as glamorous as people make it to be. It is more difficult than people think.

5. My responsibilities include: phlemobotomy, radiology, anesthesiology, appointments, education to clients, pet care, diet and nutrition etc...

6. starting salary varies from state to state, but you DO NOT make over $80,000 if you do not own your own clinic or do not produce major care


good luck
