Answer 1

The money you can make as a vet depends on a variety of factors, including where you live and the specific field of practice.

Generally a veterinarian earns a good income. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the mean salary for a veterinarian is about $75,000. (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_29he....

Median annual earnings of veterinary technologists and technicians were $22,950 in 2002. The middle 50 percent earned between $19,210 and $27,890. The bottom 10 percent earned less than $16,170, and the top 10 percent earned more than $33,750.

Median annual earnings of veterinarians were $63,090 in 2002. The middle 50 percent earned between $49,050 and $85,770. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $38,000, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $123,370.

According to a survey by the American Veterinary Medical Association, average starting salaries of 2002 veterinary medical college graduates varied by type of practice as follows:

    * All private clinical practices $46,339

    * Large animals, exclusively 48,303

    * Small animals, exclusively 48,178

    * Small animals, predominantly 46,582

    * Large animals, predominantly 45,087

    * Mixed animals 43,948

    * Equine (horses) 34,273

The average annual salary for veterinarians in the Federal Government in nonsupervisory, supervisory, and managerial positions was $72,208 in 2003.

(This is according to stats collected by the U.S. Department of Labor.)

Hope this helped=) Good luck!!!!

I would imagine anywhere between 50,000 to 100,000$ a year but it all depends on how many animals you treat etc
