I don't know if there's is a difference,but what is the difference of training ;and how long do you have to go to school for it?
 
I'm a pulmonary care practitioner in a hospital (student) and I know a lot of people who started out as vet techs, take it from me, don't do it. It's a lot of hard work and school for a job that pays 10-12 dollars an hour. It's very rewarding in other ways, but you'd make more money as a manager at pizza hut, or even working at walmart or safeway. It seems unbelievable, but its true.

Vet techs are certified, which involves at least a two-year college program. A vet assistant does pretty much the same things as a vet tech, but probably makes less money. However, if you were interested in becoming a vet tech, you might apply for a job as a vet assistant while putting yourself through school.
