Do people find Vet opportunities near their home town or do you have to relocate
I'm potentially interested in veterinary medicine but unsure of the opportunities after college graduation and vet school. Do people often relocate for jobs or do you find enough opportunities near your home town vicinity? #veterinary #jobs

That's going to depend on the location that you live, and what type of job you want after you graduate. If you live in a rural community, and you want to do mixed animal practice (small and large animal), the odd will be much greater you could work in the area than if you wanted to do research, emergency medicine, or say surgical specialty work. Also remember that a veterinary degree can allow you to do almost anything, a veterinarian has flown on the space shuttle. Pretty far from home.
