Answer 1

Most vet clinics want a tech with a degree.  You may find it easy or hard to get a job depending on where you live.  Here there is a glut of vet techs with degrees and without one you don't have a chance.  Some clinics will allow someone already excepted to vet school to ride along with a vet at no pay and others won't.

Salaries vary depending on where your clinic is and what you are doing.  A friend who is not only a tech but the office manager makes about $35,000 a year.  Another friend's daughter makes about $7.50 an hour.  She has a degree and has worked for this clinic as a "cage cleaner" for 4 years and has been employed as a tech for 2 years.
