Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine first graduated more women than men in 1989, but women also outnumbered men in 1990 and 1993. The recently ended school year was the first in which all four classes at the AU college were more than 50 percent female. This incoming fall quarter freshman veterinary medicine class will have 53 women and 37 men. There would be concern among some that women might not command the salaries men do, and as a result, the salaries paid to veterinarians might decline. But there's another side to it.
Women appear to give a higher priority to location and working conditions than men.
That's not yet fully documented by science, but some people feel it's the case.
