Ohh. That flew over my head. Thought he was talking about his dog’s prices.

Geez where the hell is this vet? I definitely didn’t get 15/h to start.

WAY down south...where bananas grow a monkey stepped on an elephant's toe.

Hah! Yep, vet bills rack up. What exactly is the 15/hour for? Some sort of in-house training?

No our Vet pays her employees a living wage and yes her services cost money.

She had 200 folks apply for the single position she had open.

Yea I got it now, my blonde roots were showing.

I have yet to find a good vet that is also cheap. Seems you get what you pay for. The vet I worked for was pretty expensive but the hourly rate was not that great.

I am so sorry to hear she didn't share her success with you. Our Vet is great like that she is an Aggie.

My vet is also an Aggie. Actually most or all vets here are, as A&M is the only vet school in Texas.

Granted, when I started working there I was an unpaid intern and was more than happy to just learn. I had to stop working and focus on college before I got any decent pay, so I can’t criticize them too much. I am still good friends with those vets and I know they would rehire me if I asked.

 

[AllenK RGV]

I am sorry I find it hard to believe an Aggie would treat someone so poorly. I regret you had to intern. People don't intern on Kyle Field!

I will tell you my Aggie Doc Dr Melissa Meritt at San Benito Animal Hospital is beyond awesome.

 

[Tesumph]

I can assure you I wasn’t treated poorly. I started working when I was 16, they did me a huge favor by letting me intern under the title of “volunteer work.”

In reality a volunteer can’t do much except work in the kennels. They let me assist in surgery and help with patients, it was a great experience.

And people definitely do intern on Kyle field! I should know, I’m looking into work for when we move to college station in the next few months. Nothing wrong with interning to boost your resume and get those volunteer hours needed for vet school.

 

[AllenK RGV]

I can only say I do love my vet. My dog was attacked by a pit bull and she really pulled it all off with the serial surgeries that were required. I am so happy to still have my old girl.
