Veterinarians tend to the needs of non-human animals providing them with medical and dental care.
Veterinarians earned a median annual salary of $88,770 in 2016 and almost 80,000 people practice veterinarian medicine.
"To become a Veterinarian , you will have to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from an accredited college of veterinary medicine. Although many schools admit applicants who don't have a bachelor's degree, earning one will increase your odds of gaining admission. There is keen competition for entry into this four-year program.
You will need a state-issued professional license to practice. Every state requires candidates for licensure to pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE) administered by the International Council for Veterinary Assessment.
Many states also give their own exams.
Although it is not mandatory, many veterinarians choose to become certified in a specialty, for example, surgery or internal medicine. Requirements vary for each but may include getting experience in that area, passing an examination, spending additional time in school, or completing a three to four-year residency program."
