So she didnt have loans? How did she manage that ?? That would have been very important to this video. Given that she only has 500-1000 left after her bills, much of that amount would have gone to loans.

[@asharedo]

Yeah but she spends 300 on meal delivery service + another 100 per week on food. That's 'before' restaurants etc. Holy crap lol she must eat well !

[@Jetdot37]

If she went overseas. E.g New Zealand it would cost about $35,000 USD for a vet degree

[@millenarocks]

Jetdot37 it’s actually a lot more expensive, at least according to my research, if you’re paying international fees it does add up to around 200,000 USD ,,, maybe you’re referring to domestic student fees?

[@Jetdot37]

Hsiang Jien yes I am! I needed to be more clear. She would have to be a citizen or resident for at least 5 years I believe. I am a domestic vet student and we pay $39,000 USD for our degrees. I pay about $7800 a year :)

[@vedasaicharit9993]

In India it’s almost a $500 a year and for total five years . The living and total is upto a $10,000 in total in a good university . And saving couple of years in life coz the veterinary medicine is after high school and for the masters you could manage 2 years of abroad specialisations in the field so the person could earning almost by the age of 26 and counting the big bucks with 6 years of experience (as she is in her 32) and could buy a descent home and car in a high held area.... so count it ....

[@spikeyvas9783]

Omg when I will finish collage I wanna be a vet.

[@weiv6229]

I've been aspiring to be a vet since forever

Being frugal in your student time is also an impprtant issue

[@EzequielCathi]

I will be a good vet

You are right

I'm 27 and highly considering pursuing vet surgeon. Coming out at 39 years old. Thoughts? Advice?

[@xxxxGleekxxx]

I am 24, completed University to become a teacher and now starting vet school in October :-) Go for it!

[@Shadow-minion]

@@xxxxGleekxxx is it not too late?

[@xxxxGleekxxx]

@@Shadow-minion No. I am working as a teacher while studying to become a vet. It's possible. You just have to organise pretty well.

[@Shadow-minion]

@@xxxxGleekxxx yahh!! You r right.... i started at 21... and now i am 25.4 and doing internship..... and now there are lot of uncertainties and multiple options in front of me.

[@MrsStink]

Honestly disappointed, why wasn’t a vet that had student loans interviewed?

[@the_philosopher_o_philosophos]

That just wrong. Vet's spend more on learning. More competition. Way more knowledge and qualifications than doctors and still they get paid way less.

[@saragod5933]

Try to live in another country where vets salary is higher I am going to do that many country's need vets

[@Shadow-minion]

Which country u consider?

[@naicadesruisseaux4376]

@@Shadow-minion Australia

[@Shadow-minion]

@@naicadesruisseaux4376 so canda and USA has less pay scale comparatively? Because i am hoping to enroll for navle soon.

[@naicadesruisseaux4376]

@@Shadow-minion I don’t know about Canada but in usa depends on your location like if you live in New York, California and Boston you get pay good there but if it like Florida or Texas no and it hard to find vet school in America but my opinion is Australia I’d best

[@Shadow-minion]

@@naicadesruisseaux4376 thanks

[@rachelw4890]

This is not helpful... why wouldn't you interview a typical veterinary professional, which would mean someone with student loans?

[@racer887outlaws6]

Your comment is wasting space... why would you post it?

[@asharedo]

This is how it would look: less meal delivery service and holidays - more paying back loans. You're welcome

[@anonymousv5502]

Thats the reality of vets. We are so underrated.
