I plan to take as many math and science classes as possible. Completing as many math and science courses will help strengthen my education. I will take AP classes. I plan to get a job this summer at the veterinary clinic in town. After high school you must complete 2-4 years of pre-veterinary or science studies in college. You must complete these before enrolling in veterinary school. The average length of education is approximately eight years after high school. Tuition plus the average cost of living ranges from $42,770 to $84,464. Some students have scholarships and don't have to pay as much, but most students have to get loans. The average veterinary student is $150,000 in debt upon graduation. Yes, you have opportunities in the military. Provide care for working dogs, ceremonial horses, pets owned by service members, and other Department of Homeland Security animals. If I were to apply for a scholarship, it would be for the stedwards.edu athletic department scholarships. After graduation, most veterinarians complete an optional one-year internship to improve their skills. If you follow AVMA standards, internships provide hands-on clinical experience
