Vet Tech / Penn Foster

[dfrecore]

So vet tech is not a path to vet, in terms of schooling. If you want to be a vet, you're better off figuring out what's required (so check multiple schools where you want to go) and then getting the pre-reqs done through an RA school when you're closer to applying (I'm assuming that like RN or med school, they want your labs to be within 5 years).

And yes, it will be a problem in the future with RA vs. NA. An RA school won't take your NA credits.

Now, if you're interested in becoming a vet tech now, with the thought that you want to try it out before you commit to being a vet, then by all means, go for it. But just don't think that it's going to get you very close to becoming a vet.
