Veterinary pathologists who work for industry (pharmaceutical companies, primarily) can expect to work a standard 8-hour day, five days a week. Vet pathologists who work at a univeristy will often work longer hours as they juggle teaching, clinical work and often research as well. Veterinary pathologists who are self-employed and work as contractors to other companies (such as reading slides for labs) can pretty much set their own hours and days of work.
