Why can I work and make all the money I want and still Draw social security and still tax my checks? Wendy: You can, after full retirement age... somewhere from 65-66 (depending on your birth year). Before that, nope... just not what the Social Security regulations allow. At that point, they will pay full SS payments and recalculate the benefit each year too!
That being said, while veterinary technicians often have to complete a college program that is accredited by the AVMA and get either an Associateâs Degree or a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in the field, the assistants only need a high school diploma or a GED to get a job in the field.
A Veterinary Assistant helps veterinarians provide medical care to animals. Similar to a medical assistant who supports human patients, veterinary assistants will sterilize medical equipment, prepare lab samples, clean examination rooms, and assist with administrative work and billing. Veterinary assistants are different from medical assistants in many ways, however. Veterinary assistants will often feed and water the animals for which they are caring. They may administer medication, provide post-operative care, and clean and disinfect cages.
