[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7078421, member: 54866"] I can sort of agree with the above. The profession has drastically changed from the situation decades ago. Back along, people owned a share in a practice and made good money. They didn't have a huge amount of competition and it was all based on relationships anyway, even if you did a pants job no one really noticed and the customer coughed up anyway as there wasn't much alternative. You went to practice X because you'd dealt with them for years, they knew your farm/pet and that was that. By the end of their tenure these people had made a mint and retired on a good sum thanks very much. With the rise of the corporate model the profit is simply creamed off for shareholders and ultimately the above model won't work long term. Whether this is good or bad for the profession or large or the client it remains to be seen but new grads entering now would be well advised to take note of it because there are far easier ways of earning that kind of money if you have the nous to complete a veterinary degree. No accident all the old money send their kids to be investment bankers now. [/QUOTE]
