A veterinarian does all sorts of tasks in a vet clinic. Surgery is the number one thing a vet must learn to do. When you go to vet school, you will have to learn such things, hence will *have* to do them. If you want to deal with animals but not do any hard core surgeries, you may reconsider becoming a vet or become a vet technician.
The average Social Security retirement benefit is about $1,300 per month ($1,328 in 2015), and the maximum at full retirement age is more than $2,600 per month ($2,663 in 2015), but the exact amount youâll get every month depends on how much you earned over your lifetime and how old you are when you start collecting Social Security.
Your Social Security can be worth more in golden years' income than your 401(k) or individual retirement account. The trick: Know at what age to best file for benefits. Consider a married couple who both begin Social Security with a first-year combined benefit of just $23,304, based on the Social Security program fact sheet. As of Dec. 31, 2013, the average retired benefits recipient gets $1,294 a month and a spouse $648 a month. A retirement plan needs a value today of $543,147 to provide the same income as Social Security for the next 20 years.
