Veterinarians

Significant Points

• Veterinarians should have an affinity for animals and the ability to get along with their owners.
• Graduation from an accredited college of veterinary medicine and a State license are required.
• Competition for admission to veterinary school is keen; however, graduates should have very good job opportunities.
• About 1 out of 5 veterinarians was self-employed; self-employed veterinarians usually have to work hard and long to build a sufficient client base.
