Being a vet

I’m a sophomore in high school soon to be junior and I was wondering what type of classes in school would either benefit me for help me not have to take college classes ( save money )

but I read up on it and it says it’s up to nine years in college, I don’t plan on being in school that long I was just thinking about being an assistant that help groom animals and the basic not surgeries or anything like that.

Please comment if u have any experience or inside info to help me!!
