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.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Yes! There is a huge difference between the two jobs. I have been a veterinary assistant for over 3 years and that job is more of a janitorial position and it includes a lot of cleaning of animals and cages and in a lot of hospitals is on the low end of the employee status.
