Veterinary technicians (credentialed, formally educated persons) generally earn more than a veterinary assistant.
Veterinary assisting is an entry level position in the veterinary medical field with no state having formal educat or training requirements for the position. A veterinary assistant is anyone who works ina veterinary facility assisting a veterinarian or veterinary technician but who has not met the requirements to be credentialed as a veterianry technician.
A veterinary technician is someone who has a 2-year degree from an American Veterinary Medical Assoc. accredited veterinary technology degree program. To be credentialed (licensed, certified or registered) in a particular state a person must also have passed at least the Veterinary Technician National Exam and usually also a state exam. In many states unless you are credentialed you may not legally use the title "veterinary technician".
