[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16101"] When you consider the investment that a vet has in equipment, facilities and schooling, dead beat clients that don;t pay, the hours they have to keep, most vets are really a bargain. We actually have two vets that work as clerks in the local feedstore, they couldn't make it as vets because of the competition.
