Do some companies pay a lot more for this position than others? What does a top earner make in this field?

What skills should you learn to increase your salary?

I currently work as a veterinary assistant. College is not required to get a job as an assistant. The person that responded to you before was probaly thinking of a veterinary techician, which does take 2 years of college to become.

Usually experience is the best way to get a good starting pay. Being skilled in restraining animals, using laboratory equipment, and drawing blood are all good ways to get a good starting pay. If you do not have these skills most vets will still hire you, and will train you on these skills. Depending upon the area that you live in will also hurt/help your starting pay. Some vets in small towns may only start you out at minimum wage, others may pay reasonably well. Good Luck:)
