That doesn't really matter. What would matter is how well informed the people who decide to become a veterinary are.

Well, everyone should be treated better and paid better.

If they could somehow make the improvements you suggest (but don't specify how), they would lead to even more chumps joining the queue.

(And no, that's not a generalised argument against making people's lives better. If you improve the appeal of non-vet jobs, fewer people will join the vet line.

If you improve the treatment of workers in general, the length of the wanna-be-vet queue, and any other 'job queue' will probably stay roughly the same. But people will be better off.)
