There are about five vets within a 15 minute driving radius of where I live, but the nearest emergency/exotic vet is 45 minutes away. I live in a medium-sized rural college town.
I looked into being a vet, even interned with a few. They all told me that the pay is not nearly as good as you'd think, and that it's certainly not a profession you should go into for the money.
Also, you should be aware that your certification (if it's from outside the US) probably won't mean a lot once you get here. You'll have to get certified all over again.
I guess you could just come over here and be a vet tech, that's like the equivalent of a nurse here. They don't really make awesome money either, but there is a lot less school involved, and it would probably be easier to find a job.
