Golden Age of Vet Med?

I recently spoke with a vet/clinic owner who told me the golden age of vet med is over (I think he said it was back in 80s). He mostly blamed corporatization, since back in his time a young vet could buy/start a small practice and build it up into a lucrative business, but now corporations are buying all the practices and can easily outbid vets. It's great for the old-timers who can sell their practice for a few million but it blocks a lot of new vets from becoming owners. I've also been... Golden Age of Vet Med?
