Currently, I'm working as a legal secretary...I am needing a big change, so here's what I've decided...
I am going to start working part time at Petco as a washer/brusher on nights & weekends. Once I do this for a few months, the manager said that they will pay for me to go to grooming school. Once I graduate, I can make as much money as I'm making now as a groomer. I am going to talk to him again tonight to see if I have the job, so, any good wishes my way would be appreciated!
I don't want to be a groomer for the rest of my life, but I think this is a step in the right direction. It would give me something different to do and I wouldn't have to take a pay cut. I was actually surprised how much you can make as a groomer!
Eventually I would like to start my own pet care business, but I need to save up $$$ first and iron out the details.
I am really excited to finally have a plan! If all goes well, I will be able to give my 2 weeks in January!!! Not only would it mean getting out of the corporate environment, but I would also be cutting my 2+hour commute!
I've been following your other posts about this and I definitely think that this is a great step in the right direction. Good for you for having the guts to try something new that will lead you to what you ultimately want!
I'll be sending good thoughts your way about getting the job. Let us know when you know!
