I don't know the rough estimate, but I heard they get pretty shit pays in Australia, but get paid really well overseas ie. in the US.

just googled it, 50k seems like average salary for vets with 5+ years experience, which is relatively low compared to say commerce graduates

are there any reasons as to why vets earn relatively lower salaries than other graduates?

I heard from a vet friend of mine that, if you are after money, don't do vet. Not worth it. You do it because you really really really really dig it.

I know vets have a relatively low graduate starting salary but I always thought it got better with time. I'd expect them to make a lot for the amount we've paid in vet bills
