They probably have a student loan debt
Many vets opted for a high student loan debt because they had to pay for various educational expenses. For some people, this is the only option to pay for college. According to a study conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the average veterinarian graduates from school owing $153,191 in student loans. Unfortunately, it can take veterinarians a long time to pay their debts after completing their studies.
