<p>There is a tremendous amount of truth to it. My husband and I are both vets, and my son wants to be one. I’m practically begging him to go ino something else. Unless you are independently wealthy, a career in vet medicine cannot pay for itself today. Even if you go to school for free, there is getting ready to be such a huge glut of veterinarians, you’ll have trouble getting a job at all. </p>
<p>This is all the buzz in vet medicine now. Vet clinics are going out of business for the first time in …ever. And that’s before the real surplus even gets here. I actually took an informal poll of veterinarians online asking them if they had to start their careers now, with the higher school prices and demand what it is, how many would be vets again. I think about 80 responded. The number who would do it again? Zero. Also, for what it’s worth, higher suicide rate than almost every other profession.</p>
