“Pursue your passion. It may land you your dream job.”

Connie, who majored in veterinary technology [1], was hired right out of college by Genesee Valley Equine Clinic in Rochester, and works almost exclusively with horses.

“When I graduated from Alfred State, I discovered that what I learned was really what I needed to know. The vet tech program at Alfred State gave me the opportunity to work with large animals—horses, cows, pigs, and sheep. Other colleges I considered didn’t offer large animal training. This proved invaluable for landing a job. In fact, it equipped me for my dream job.”
