I grew up on a farm, still own farm land and understand the costs envolved. I elected to keep my Veterinary Clinic smaller and cheaper and have done ok. Some of the multi million dollar clinics around here have not survived or are struggling. Starting wages for new grads have fallen with an average of about $65,000. When they have school debts of $200,000, a car and house payments of $3000 or more per month does not leave much. Then there is the investment to buy into a practice and in the end earnings have to go up over to $100,000 to pay for all of this. This is why fees often seem high to pay for all of this.

I have an advantage over younger vets that I have no debts and each of us as individuals have to make decisions that determine our careers.
