Have decided I am going to learn how to be a dog and cat groomer. Will cost 5 grand to do the course but well worth it.
I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

I would love to do that! I had no idea it cost 5K though! Can they not train you on the job?  I would be happy just being the shampoo girl  ;D and not do the haircuts.

5 grand! That sounds really expensive!

I would honestly see if you can get an apprenticeship or MNW job at Pets At Home - most of their stores do grooming and honestly I've never seen any member of staff who didn't look to be totally happy to be there!

(disclaimer: I'm a mad cat and rat lady who buys most of her supplies at PaH. Other pet stores are available!)
And me, I am not a mess, I am a wilderness, yes

5k is a lot of money for no real promise of return. What you need to ask yourself is how long do you need to work in order to reclaim that money back again? Base your outlay on your projected returns. Remember also that there are a lot of start ups out there who offer these training courses, some not even worth the paper they're written on.

You might learn more from YT videos but you can also gain a lot of experience by offering free services to friends and family who have their own dogs and cats. Work up from there, see what gaps you need to fill and do what you need to do. I doubt you will need to be qualified in order to do this job, at the bare minimum you'll need public liability insurance as with any business. But as you gain more experience you can start advertising your services, go mobile with a small van etc in your local area. Ask those you did free work for to offer you some raving reviews and take it from there. A lot less hassle than paying out 5k. But once you've got to where you need to be, you might even consider offering training courses, say at about 5k a head. You'll be well minted xx
If we spend our entire life thinking about doing something then we'll have achieved nothing... Think outside of the confines of the box.

What I planned to do at the begining to what I am doing now is different. Doing things in stages is difficult it lacks me motivation some times. Luckily he builds me up.

I took a look at this online as I was astounded at the cost but its right just shy of 5k to get qualified to a city and guilds level 3 or for a vocational diploma I'm thinking like hairdressing you need the qualifications to get insurance etc. As you've pointed out though the real money is in providing the training.

Currently studying for my second degree, hoping to get in holistic nutrition, therapies and yoga. Love to have my own retreat business.

Cat sitting and dog walking seem to be quite popular these days...No expensive training needed other than a love of animals and possibly the short courses some of the websites that advertise them recommend to get more business...And they certainly don't cost 5 grand to do :-)

Shall we get back to the topic? It's wandered off to the degree that I'm struggling to see the sex work link now and there are careers sites/pet care forums all over the internet already :)

I find having a focus helps thinking about all the benefits. Like improvement of overall health, properly nourishing my body. Pure happiness and living not in fear of being outed.

I mean when others ask where I met him usually if it was a client. I would lie to cover up.  So when I say tesco which is the truth I smile inside as it some normality accepted by society.

It has been two months so far with preparing, cant believed I survived some times with a lower income.

Not really planning to retire, personally. As some others said, as long as there'll be demand, I'm happy to keep working.

I've already started my exit plan, I'll probably keep doing phone lines, my bf knows it's a tidy earner for me. But after months working as an escort, and working as a pro sub part time for years prior, I'm kind of looking forward to calling a day on it.

Escorting was a good earner to get out of debt that an ex put me in, took it up when the bdsm only market plunged too far down (fuck you 50 shades of grey!). And I have the sex drive that I generally love it, but I'm looking forward to being monogamous again. My bf has been fantastic about it all, but he's not enjoyed having to fix me up after a client has gone too far.

If all goes to plan, I'll be out by 30, settled at the top of my career ladder and clean cut away from it. I'll leave it with some very fond memories, and don't regret it, but it was never going to be a long term career for me.

As the number of punters struggling to hard on with me increases it becomes nearer to the date when it's time to quit.
