When I asked my new neighbors about their pay, they responded that the veterinary techs make $30k. In the tech industry, this can be considered a low figure. However, the amount they make is a reflection of their knowledge and experience, which is essential in any profession.
For many of New England’s best vet techs, this is a salary with no ceiling. The more you know, the more you can make, and the more you can make, the more you can make. This is why I always say that you should be well compensated for what you know. In the tech industry, we are often referred to as “the best of breed” because we often work alongside one another, which makes our salaries higher.
I’ve done some research over the years which shows that the average vet tech makes about 70% of the rate that an average engineer makes. It’s a pretty good salary, especially when you consider that the techs earn a lot more from tips than those who make a living in a similar role.
As I said, the average tech makes quite a bit more than average engineers. There are more high tech jobs that pay more than average techs, and I think it’s because some of the techs are more skilled. A typical tech tech spends more time on the job than most engineers, so they may have more experience. Also, tech workers are often more senior in their fields and often spend more time at their jobs.
The salary of a tech in veterinary tech is still a mystery to me. I believe it depends on the number of techs on the job and the number of techs that actually make a living in the industry. I think the average tech makes quite a bit more than average engineers and I see no reason why it should be any different for the vet techs.
The problem is that most vet techs are either in jobs that don’t pay as much as they should or don’t actually make a lot of money. One of the reasons the tech industry has its problems is because it doesn’t have enough techs to actually get the industry going. That means there are no doctors, etc., and thus no doctors’ assistants, and no techs that actually pay as much as they should.
So if you want to make $30k+ a year, you could make that easily. If you want to make $20k+ a year, not so easy.
We recently spoke with a vet tech, who was paid a little over $27,000 a year. He had an average of 3 patients in the last three months, and was told that he had to spend the majority of his time treating elderly dogs. He asked to lower his hours a little so he could live more comfortably. He told us that his job was hard but worth it.

I have an old and very sad veterinarian friend who got laid off from her job in August of last year. She was making $19,000 a year as a tech at her vet clinic. So, how much did she make in a year? $13,000.
