Once again we revive the issue that blights
our industry, the lack of educational
standardization for pet groomers. Hairstylists
(for people) enter their field knowing what
initial education, experience and examinations
are required. Not so for pet grooming career
seekers. They can enter the grooming industry
without clocking a single hour of training or
passing exams. Now isn't that a scary prospect
for pet owners? Some career seekers take the
easy way out. They need a job quickly and get
minimal education. That's understandable but
what about continuing education? Others secure
the best educational opportunities beforehand
and then go forward further with continuing
education.
What is the factor that most often
determines the choice of education? You
guessed it, money. There is a price for
education. Unfortunately, a lack of money
risks securing a suitable education.
Experienced pet groomers watching you groom
can easily decipher how much education and
experience you have behind you.
There's only one way to improve and that is
a proper basic education and ongoing
continuing education. Fortunately, it's never
been easier to to participate in continuing
education with a growing number reference
books, DVDs and workshops. Therefore, it's up
to you to write an educational plan and to
stick to it.
Remember you are investing in yourself and
your career, and your livelihood. Don't you
expect to earn hundreds of thousands of
dollars or over one million in the years
ahead?
No one is going to require you to pass exams
or clock hours before becoming a groomer. It's
solely up to you to write an educational plan
to secure the best income and working
lifestyle you love.
By the end of this chapter you should be able
to do just that. We've made it easier than
ever. We're excited for you!
