    Guess What!!!!???

    Ok, I used to work at Pet Valu a pet supply sotre(no animals except cats from the adoption place). I got fired because I didnt push customers into buying the store brand dog food..and I didnt follow people around asking them if they need help. I felt uncomfortable doing that especially to the people who come in all the time.

    Anyways!
    I got a new job at the dog groomers in town I got hired allmost 3 weeks ago now and I LOVE it there.
    The pay is pretty good only about 2 cents above minimum wage but I dont care.
    The people there are always telling me how good I am and how impressed they are. They always tell the customers that I'm new and how great I am.
    They say they are so glad my boss fired me cause now I work with them

    Well today the one lady(she owned a shop of her own when she was younger and did really good grooming now she is older and her daughter runs a shop(the one i am in) )
    and she said that instead of paying the least $5000 for a crappy grooming school they would train me for free!!!

    She said because she knows I'll be so good at it.

    Ive never had someone tell me how good I am at something so much.
    I'm so excited about this.

    I was worried before because my grades arent the best and so I was scared I wouldnt be able to get into a collage and that I wouldnt have the money.
    And now I dont have to worry about it!!!!!
    I have my career set and it will cost me nothing

    Sounds like a good deal!

    But keep working at your grades anyway, as even if you do decide on this as a career, maybe you'll want to run your own business some day, and that book-learning will help. (No, I am not a teacher. Yes, I come from a long line of teachers, at least for generations back before me!)

    Congratulations on your new career!! I'm so proud of you!. These sound like good people you are working with. Sounds like fate that you were in the right place at the right time. You could still go to college, though if you decide to, in case the novelty of grooming wares off after awhile. Otherwise you could take some business courses and start your own groom shoppe one day. You have what it takes!! Anyway, it gives you something to work toward.

    Great job! Keep working at your grades. They will get you into a good school. If you love grooming, you can continue to do that. If you want to be a vet, grooming will pay for your schooling.
