I'm 25 and worked in a nursing home for close to 5 years. I was miserable. Alpha Phi paid my way through an excellent pet grooming school. I graduated April 1st of 2005 top of my class. I'd always wanted to work with animals since I was a very little kid. A week after I graduated I got online and did some job hunting. Alpha Phi and I already knew we wanted to move out of Michigan so I looked for jobs in a couple states we'd vacation in before. First place I called acted like she wanted to meet me that day. We did a couple phone meetings and decided an interview would be great. A month later we drove to North Carolina for my interview and I knew from the moment I sat down I had the job. She had already called my school and found out that apparently if I hadn't of wanted to move my school wanted to hire me as an assistant groomer. So I work in a vet clinic and have my own grooming salon downstairs. My bosses are great and back me up whenever I need it and my coworkers are nice also.
There is something to say that when you spend over 8 hours at a place of work and don't even notice because you enjoy it so much. I really love my job. Don't get me wrong I have some insane customers and crazy mean dogs and cats but even then it's still awesome.
