[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a regular vet had not been "lucrative" in decades: vet school is expensive, young people aren't becoming vets, old vets are retiring, and practices that could make it work are getting bought out by big chains. Emergency vets have even higher costs and a less stable client pool than daytime vets.

There was just a story in the news about a vet who's retiring and giving away his practice because if no one takes it his rural county will have no vets. No one will buy it, he is giving away everything for free including his truck.

My aunt was support staff at one that got bought last year: some of the vets stayed on as employees, some retired, and all the support staff were laid off. My aunt was retirement age already and working there to get discounted care for her menagerie; it's not like people were jumping on those jobs.[/quote]

This is such a load of s***. I know two small time vets who are raking in over $500,000 a year and pay their one receptionist $12/hour. It's a lucrative gig.[/quote]

My Vet (owns the practice) lives in a 5m dollar home and gets a new Lambo, Maserati, Aston Martin, Porsche, etc. for himself every year at Christmas. I suspect he is doing just fine. [/quote]
