My opinion on this is that you should stay in school.

You will need the basics of a solid education in order to do the following:
a. create advertising for your grooming salon (if you ever branch out on your own, you MAY be responsible for designing your business cards, print ads, etc)
b. do basic inventory
c. do your basic accounting (along with payroll as well as taxes)

I say you may be responsible because a new company doesn't always have the funds to hire someone to do these things for them. It may take a year or two before your funds allow any 'extras' like someone to design your flyer, or a person to do your taxes.

I'm not judging you personally, but I have to say I am judgemental about certain things. If I see an ad or flyer that looks unprofessional, then I won't take my animals there. I assume that if a person cannot take the time to present themselves appropriately, then they don't want my business.

Please, stay in school. Education truly IS the key.

I don't claim to be perfect, I make typos often. I just know that without an education to fall back on, even the best laid plans can fail.

I stayed off this thread ................but that was perfectly said.
BC You may think I am harsh on you but after 22 fosters and 6 kids of my own I do care. Please think this through. I could happily PM you with the triumphs and the tragedies. Please please give this much thought. You have less than 9 months I know you can do this. Then its over.You can later in life choose to pursue more education, or not.

I know for a fact my cocker goes to "just a HS grad" but the woman (31) is amazing with her and Goof adores her. I am not in any way making a statement over your career choice.......... I like many other dog owners need people like you that can handle and deal with our brats on a table. I also used grooming to put myself through college.

Please think this through hard. I know you feel I have been harsh, but I am really not, just want you to think......I do not talk to you any worse or any better than I did my own kids or my fosters.

Knowing what I know and how much I hated school, too, I'd say go for what your heart tells you. There is such a thing as getting a GED for high school. If it doesn't work out, you can always go back. You have to do what feels right for you. But in doing that, you also have to have your future in mind. I have a responsible, well paying job. But I wouldn't have that without a high school degree and passing tests needed for college, in case my employer wants me to take new courses for my job. I just don't know why people have to be so inconsiderate here. The same people that make threads for support from us.
