I am not a vet tech, I am a pet groomer, but I really would not concider a job at a vet "less stressful". Each and every minute may not be stressful, but the emergencies, the life/death issues, the shear volume of people and animals coming and going....................etc. I am by no means condemning the job, but don't fool yourself about the stress factor. A simple day with a dog that barks for 4 hours without stopping is stressful. (trust me). So now I will shut up and let those who actually work at a vet's take over.
