Pre Veterinary Job Opportunities

"The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what the man or woman is able to do."
Booker T. Washington
American Educator and Author
       1856-1915

All pre-veterinary students are expected to have a diverse animal work experience prior to applying to veterinary school.  This means working with a licensed veterinarian in each of the following fields:
         Food Animal
         Poultry
         Equine
         Research
         Companion Animal

For the graduating class of 2009 average applicants had more than 3250 work related hours and many had more than 4,000 hours prior to applying to UC Davis.  Please plan your schedules so that your work hours do NOT interfere with your expected high GPA.  In other words, work as few hours/week as you can during the school year and concentrate the longer hours during the summer and other school breaks.
