What types of jobs help care for our pets at a veterinary clinic?

Question

Hi!! I'm doing a cost of living project for school, and I'm wanting to be a veterinarian when I'm older. For my project I have to pretend I am 23 and out of college. I will hopefully get accepted into vet school, so I will be pretending I am in Vet school. I would need a job while in school, so I was wondering if there are any jobs- either part-time or full-time ( I imagine full-time would be hard)- that veterinary offices offer to students?

Many vet clinics hire high school or college-aged students to help clean kennels and care for the animals in the clinic. Many vet clinics also offer boarding services, and hire school-aged kennel staff. Some clinics may hire college aged students as technician assistants, to help with restraint or exam room cleaning. For the purposes of your project, you could use any of these positions. If you're actively looking for such positions, I recommend creating a cover letter and resume, and reaching out to the vet clinics in your area to express your interest. Good luck! Hope this helps :-)
