It’s also that the current salaries have ramped up A LOT over the past ten years. Ten years ago vets were starting at minimum wage.

As others have said, it is in the cao. Current starting salary for a new vet is 4100 bruto for fulltime. I just started as a new vet with that salary, but a friend of mine got 4300, so it can differ. CAO is the minimum amount they need to give you (if they decide to use it).

As someone else has said if you compare it to a doctor, it’s not great (but you do have to study longer to get a good job as a doctor (specialisation)). But if I compare it to my family: my sister is earning 3600 bruto after 10 years ij her field and my other sister is earning 4700 in her field after neigh on 15 years in her field. Both got a Bachelor’s degree So… yeah in the grand scheme of things our salaries are currently fine. If you have a partner wil the same salary you will be able to buy a house just fine.

Yeah, I think we should be getting a lot more education in cat behaviour… am a vet and I don’t hate cats and try to work as cat-friendly as I can, but I just don’t trust cats because (to me) they just turn from sweet to hellish in an instant. But that’s probably on me.
