Asked by sunshine_peach
If i do become a vet tech, i was told it would be entry level and i wouldnt have to have a degree.. i was told id be doing the dirty work aside from assisting the vet...

Best Answer:
These are 3 totally different levels within the hospital. Receptionist: Phones, scheduling, filing, the initial 'face of the hospital' Assistant: cleaning, restraint, charges, surgery prep, etc Tech: discharges, anesthetics, lab work, surgery assistance As stated before, chances are the more education or licensure you have, the more you'll be paid.

Generally for any type of profession, the more education it requires then the more it pays. Vet tech takes more education than receptionist, so it would pay more. Same reason a doctor gets paid more than a nurse, etc.

The Vet Tech/Assistant requires specific technical skills and certification. A receptionist answers the phone and provides general information. Jobs that require technical skills tend to pay more money.
