There are several differences in being a vet tech and a veterinarian.. Mainly, the years of schooling, the job description, and the pay
Typically, a vet technician goes to school 4 years. A veterinarian goes to school 4 years for the Pre-vet program, 4 more for the DVM degree, and then more if there a specialty degree (like human specialists).
A vet tech can take an animals vitals, record all test results, administer some vaccinations, conduct some lab tests, clip nails, assist with surgeries, etc. A veterinarian writes prescriptions, performs surgeries, reviews all lab results, consults with the owner, checks the animal for whatever the reason for the visit, etc.
The pay varies for each job depending on location, small vs large client base, abilities, and seniority.
