Rowan University is now home to the only veterinary school in the state of New Jersey.

Up until the Veterinary school opened, if a student from Jersey wanted to become a Vet, they'd have to go to an out-of-state school to get their degree, and that also meant paying out-of-state prices in order to gain that degree.

Now, 75 students make up the inaugural class of Rowan University's very first Vet school.

Do keep in mind that just because this is an in-state school, it does not mean that it's going to be incredibly cheap.

NJ.com reports that for in-state students, it'll cost $37,500 plus another $28,497 per year for room and board. If you're out of state, it'll cost students upwards of $58,500, plus room and board.

Salary Expectations: What Do Vets In New Jersey Typically Earn?

Keeping all of this in mind, the average salary of a Vet in New Jersey is somewhere in the neighborhood of $120,000 $140,000 per year, so you'll be making good money, and in all honesty, probably living out your childhood dreams.

And as someone who also has their dream job, that's worth more than money sometimes.
