She does it as a second job. So I would imagine full-time you could make some serious money. If you're interested in the school/program she attended I could ask her. Perhaps it's National? I'm in PA.
I did the Rad Tech school thing too. Started at my Comm College in town but wanted to finish sooner. I transfered to a local hospital program and HATED it! Not to mention the schooling was about 12,000K/year. For 25K I was not going to do a job I didn't like.
I'm still in Corp. America in Administration. I work for a great company based out of the UK. They have a European approach to business and their employees which is TOTALLY different than US companies. They actually APPRECIATE their employees and reward good work. |
Hm, interesting! Yes, I would love to be a dog trainer and have my own facility. Maybe offer doggie day care/boarding as well. Ask her, if you can, where she got her training certificate, etc. That would definitely be a dream of mine.
I guess my only dilemma here right now is to get the college degree or not to get the college degree.... school is so blah for me. I'm so just not into it. I get mixed reviews about having a bachelors. Some people say you HAVE to have it in order to make money in today's world, some people have their degree and STILL can't get a job in today's world. So, it's... who knows. I guess if I really wanted to, I could major in Business to learn how to run my own business but even my own step-father, who has a degree in Business, said he was never really taught much in college on how to run his own business, he taught himself. And he's still paying off college loans. My dad owns his own successful company that his grandfather started and he does very well for himself with no college degree.
