How do I become a veterinary assistant?

Well a program in veterinary medicine would be ideal.........but biology and chemistry and more specific related fields may do just fine, or definitely give you credentials, as you said you've taken anatomy and what not in high school, you just have to be confident with the education you do have, especially if it's related, as biology is essentially almost the same a veterinary program. But if you have any outside experience with animals........ or even just a passion for animals............ you could become a veterinary assistant to this day while your in college. I almost got a job working for a vet at like $20/hr, that I had found online, but i never followed through....... and I'm not even sure they hardly considered my major. My little cousin is in a veterinary medicine program, and just finished her freshman year of college and has just gotten a veterinary assistant job. What it entails......I'm not exactly sure of......maybe not as "high up" as if she did have her bachelors, but hey who said you need a degree?
