Veterinarians need a thorough understanding of complex diseases, life-altering medicines, and fine equipment. This requires graduate school. Some veterinarians may have a master's degree, and will have a Ph.D. or M.D.

As elaborated by “onetonline.org:”

“Extensive skill, knowledge, and experience are needed for these occupations. Many require more than five years of experience. For example, surgeons must complete four years of college and an additional five to seven years of specialized medical training to be able to do their job.

“Employees may need some on-the-job training, but most of these occupations assume that the person will already have the required skills, knowledge, work-related experience, and/or training.”
