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.
The veterinary assistant may have training through a high school, college certificate program or through a distant learning program over the Internet. Most, however, are trained on the job by the veterinarian or the veterinary technician.
