thinking about going back to school to work with goats

i worked at a vet clinic for a bit over 3 yrs. never worked with the large animals, unless it was my own. our local college implemented a vet tech program and i got all excited. asked the vet and his wife about me taking classes. would it be worth my time. they talked me out of it. they wouldn't be able to pay me the expected wages, and sounded like i would not have a job if i did. so, i helped in surgery, cleaned kennels, and worked the front desk. when our receptionist did not show for work, and the vets wife was injured and could not work in the office, doc and i managed to operate the clinic.
guess what i am saying is, unless you find a dairy to work for, or a large meat goat farm, i don't know of a job that would specialize in goats and sheep. really hope you can prove me wrong

Good luck! I am planning to go to vet school, but this math might kill me first. might just switch to wildlife management instead.

I hate to say it but all the large animal vets I've seen or talked to work almost exclusively with dairy cows. I've never seen or heard of a vet specializing in sheep ( trust me I've looked ) or goats.

I know a great vet that is a "large animal vet" and worked with beef and dairy cattle. He worked with goat, sheep, chickens,ect ect. You name an animal he has worked with it. So while many may only work with cattle not all do.

Good luck I don't know much about different schools or anything, but I hope you find something great
