What You Need
| Requirement | Details |

| Smarts | High, from childhood onward |
| Degree | Biology or Chemistry |
| Graduate school | Veterinary School |
| First job | Jr. Veterinarian |
| Paid upgrade | None |
Step 1: Raise Your Smarts
Smarts is the key stat for any job that needs higher education. Start with a smart character if possible, and keep improving the stat:
- Study harder at school every year
- Read books and visit the library
- Avoid crime and fights, which can hurt your record
Step 2: Choose Biology or Chemistry at University
After high school, enroll in university and pick Biology or Chemistry as your major. This matters: other degrees, even other sciences, will not qualify you for veterinary school.
If neither major shows up in the list, close and reopen the app or age up and check again. The list of majors changes, so it may take a few tries. Keep studying hard during your four years.
Step 3: Graduate from Veterinary School
Once you finish university, Veterinary School appears in the same education menu. It works like university: keep studying and stay out of trouble until you graduate.
Tuition is high. Without a scholarship, expect to pay more than $100,000, so high Smarts (for a scholarship) or a student loan will help.
Step 4: Apply for Jr. Veterinarian
With your veterinary degree done, the final step of how to become a veterinarian in BitLife is the job hunt:
- Go to Occupation → Jobs.
- Look for Jr. Veterinarian in the full-time listings.
- Apply and pass the interview.
If the job is not listed, restart the app or age up to refresh the listings.
Step 5: Get Promoted
Work hard every year and keep your Smarts and Happiness up. Good performance leads to promotions from Jr. Veterinarian to full Veterinarian and beyond, with a better salary at each step.
Tips for Future Vets
- Don't switch majors. Stick with Biology or Chemistry for all four years.
- Chase scholarships. High Smarts can save you a fortune on vet school.
- Refresh lists. Both the major and the job may need a refresh to appear.
- Get a pet. It does not affect the career, but it suits the role-play.
