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!
