Education and credentialing elevates your role as a veterinary technician within a clinic. According to the October 2008 Veterinary Technician Journal, Education + Certification = Higher Pay. A high percentage of veterinary technicians make between $11-16/hr. However, 40% of credential veterinary technicians surveyed by MediMedia Research made $17-22/hr – while only 21% of non-credential veterinary technicians could report an hourly wage within this range. It pays to be certified!
