Everything to know about a Veternarian Technician ?

I am looking into going towards becoming a vet tech as one of my career paths and would love to know any and everyone's experience on becoming and being one. What defines a vet tech? How can you become a Vet technician? What are the pros and cons? How long does it generally take to become a vet tech? Can anyone explain the terms of college when becoming one? Are there any degree minors I should take or consider? Do you recommend this career path to others thinking about it? Is becoming a vet technician generally recommended or does a specific person have to become one? What are tough decisions you have to make? Is there any possibilities to travel around the world as one? Let me know, I'd love to hear all about it!

How to become a Veterinarian Technician? What are good university I can go to?

I am currently looking for careers I can pursue after high school and my main question is how do I become a vet tech? What is the best university for this career? What courses do I need to take and can somebody explain how the courses work? And my final question is does it require math? I am so terrible at math I have a IEP for it and no matter how hard I try to learn basic math it can never fully process in my head. I dont know any good universities but im considering Washington state university or maybe black hills state, Im willing to expand my options so please do give me good recommendations, thank you for taking the time to read this.

What are the steps to becoming a Vet Sonographer?

I've been going back and forth on whether I want to be a vet radiologist or a vet sonographer. I am leaning a little more towards the second option. I need help on what to do because it is such a specific field of work. I am 17 in my senior year and I want to know what to major in in university, and the steps after.

Can I still be a vet assistant after graduating vet tech degree class?

I’m currently studying to be a vet tech after graduating vet assistant. I want more education, but I also enjoy being able to help others not fall behind with extra tasks that can be annoying to deal with when the techs have other things to do. There are some things I want to do such as blood draws, but I also want to stay as a vet assistant. Thoughts?

Can I still become a vet assistant if I go through a vet tech program ?

At first, I wanted to be a veterinary technician. However, I've decided to become a veterinary assistant instead. I am having trouble finding community colleges that offer vet assistant programs. Some universities offer these programs. However, I must attend community college because I need a fourth year of math. The community colleges I'm finding only offer vet tech programs. Can I still become a vet assistant if I go through a vet tech program? Can I benefit from a vet tech program if I only want to become a vet assistant? I understand that I can become a vet assistant with a high school diploma however, I would like to have some education.
