IDK, I still wish vets did pro bono work like attorneys. Heck, like I said, maybe I have enough time to get another career in and put my money where my mouth is. HOW many years of schooling would it be??

High Debt and Falling Demand Trap New Vets

The links above should help towards answering why vets don't discount/donate/do more. Finances can be a tough issue no matter what side of the exam room you are on.

Um, that high debt and falling demand article is terrifying. My sister is a vet and I've seen her struggles firsthand. She had a great job at a fantastic clinic in Morgantown, WV, then moved to North Carolina. She's been there for almost two years and still can't find a good job because the area is so saturated with other vets. Between her loans and my brother-in-law's (who's a dentist), they're over a million dollars in debt.

Why for heaven's sake doesn't the government let them work off some of the debt through pro bono stuff, or whatever it would be called? I am almost 100K in student loan debt myself. I would LOVE to teach or do something to reduce some of it. I have free TIME, I just don't have extra free MONEY. :banghead:
