Thanks for looking! There is actually another one down in Logan, which is a few hours from here. But the link you gave me is only about twenty minutes away... I will most likely end up going there. I'll have a look around the site.

Sorry for so many questions, but if I do in fact decide to become a DVM down the road... would getting an associates degree in Veterinary Technology help with like having less schooling? Or is a completely different route?

Sorry it's hard to find a lot of my questions on the internet.

Oh that's great that the school is close to you! Let us know when you decide to go!

As for your question, I'm not actually sure. I'm sure that having an associates degree/veterinary technician license will help you to some degree if you want to pursue the DVM license.
LOL don't worry about asking questions- I'm the same way! And I'm more than happy to asnswer them!

You've been very helpful

I contacted the Utah Career College and they called back today. They're offering scholarships and I'm going on September 2 to look around their new veterinary clinic and they'll answer any questions I have. I'm excited

Oh that's awesome!

So...

I have checked out the Utah Career College and have signed up! The program is very expensive... 40,000 dollars. I'm going to keep applying for scholarships and financial aid. I have already gotten 4,000 worth of scholarships through the college itself. I've ultimately decided that I would like to stay working as a Veterinary Technician. The job is just so more appealing to me than being a Veterinarian.

I also started my internship at an animal hospital nearby and I love it! It's so much fun working with the different animals. Yesterday was my first day and I got to work with a Miniature Australian Shepherd (, absolutely adorable, however!) pup who got spayed and a huge Great Dane! It is a fun learning experience for me and everyone is very nice.

GOOD LUCK to ya, and remember to have fun!
Keep us updated!
