It depends on which area of Veterinary Medicine you are interested in. In any area, you have to be wary of zoonotic disease, such as Rabies, Toxoplasmosis, Ringworm, etc. As for the small animal world, I'd be mostly concerned with bites and scratches, especially from cats causing cat-scratch-fever. In the large animal world, I'd worry about being kicked, trampled, mauled, and generally thrown around.

What does a person have to do to be a vet?

Becoming a vet is probably a bit more difficult than becoming a medical doctor. Not that the subject matter is any harder, it's just that there aren't as many schools. You need a high school degree, bachelor's degree (usually in biology, biochem, or some relevant science), and then be accepted and complete the course of study at a vet school. Or serve in the military, if that's where you were going with that.
