No, you may return to college, complete the pre-requisite courses and apply to vet school without becoming a vet tech. In fact, it is rare that a veterinarian was ever formally trained as a vet tech.
Biology, Math, Chemistry, and other STEM classes
There aren't really promotions for a veterinary assistant as you would have to go back to school to become a veterinarian. Pay raises are possible and you could work up to being the office manager or head vet tech.
This would be either a vet tech or a vet assistant.
