One of the kinds of jobs that I will definitely be doing is working with animals. Animals are just amazing and fun to work with…..if there not mean!!! I can imagine myself being a pet groomer.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING:
My degree for being a pet groomer probably will need to include having 2 years of pet care to help take care of animals. A pet degree would be nice also. The in-states schools that offer the programs that I need are probably either Michigan State or School Craft College. A professional grooming school would also be nice. I like school craft college it looks like an amazing school to go to. The longest I think it will take for me to get the necessary training is probably only 2-3 years I think. Finally for my pet caring job I think it will cost at least $3,000 a year. I don’t think that’s that bad!!

If I want to help take care of animals those were some things I need to help get me there. Working with animals can be a hard job I think at least. It’s not as easy as you think and that is why I need to do a lot of training before I can help take care of any animal.

STARTING LEVEL:
Well as I already said before the work I will be doing is probably working with animals such as being a pet groomer. I have seen people groom dogs before and I thought to myself “hey that looks kind of fun to do”. Now the best part I think about a job is money. At least my second favorite part other then actually is doing my job. I think dog groomers are usually paid in these two ways: by the hour (NO GOOD - your boss will soon find a way to make you groom a hundred dogs a day for seven dollars an hour) oron a percent. For example, you groom this dog and make 50% of whatever the owner pays to have the dog groomed. If they pay $100, you get $50 and the shop gets the other $50. Get it? If you are any good, you can groom about 10 dogs a day and make anywhere from $250 a day (in New Jersey) or $450 - $500 (in New York). That is some other things I think also about getting this job.

Bein g a pet groomer includes washing, grooming, trimming and ect…
Being a pet groomer doesn’t just mean cleaning or grooming dogs al day, being a dog groomer also includes cutting their nails or making sure they don’t have fleas or worms in them. Also you also have to look in their ears and mouth and eyes in order for you to give them back to its owner. It’s kind of like being a vet but a little different. I just actually learned that to. I didn’t know you had to cut or trim their nails or make sure they have fleas or whatever. See we all learn something every day!!!
My second job would me being a cook or a chef. I have seen a lot of Tv shows about cooking and the people cooking I think alwas do a good job explaining what kind of food there cooking on that day.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING:
Being a chef will proabaly take at least 2 years in School Craft College again. Again i will enjoy going to SchoolCraft College for the most part. At the most for the training it will at least take 3 years. You will need a Culinary degree to do this job. How much money it will probably cost is $600 dollars a year and probably get paid at least $15-$25.
STARTING LEVEL:
I have cooked before and yes it looks fun. When judging the food judges look for how good it actually looks like and tastes like and also how much time you spent cooking it and that is also how you get paid. For me I would start out cooking at least a meal day for the practice. Some people can cook more than one thing in a day.

Pet Groomer:
One of my top ten careers were me being a pet groomer. I’m glad this was one of my top ten because this is what I might want to actually be. I love working with animals and petting them and stuff like that. I also just love grooming animals. I have been actually grooming my own dogs when I have nothing else to do. I guess I have already been practicing. I really don’t care what tools I have to use I just care of making the owner’s pet happy. That might be one of my jobs that I love to have when I’m older!!!

Cook:
My other top ten careers were me being a cook. I don’t like this as much as working with animals but it’s not something I don’t hate so I can still have this job. I don’t cook every day but It’s not like I don’t cook at all. I love playing cooking games like on the wii. That will help me practice for when I own my own house and have to cook someday! I usually help cook on holidays such as Christmas or Thanksgiving but thats probably it. But that still would be a fun job to have though other than being a pet groomer.

Blog#8 BOO

My best Halloween EVER:

My Halloween plans include having a normal day on Saturday. Probably the best day to enjoy Halloween! I say this because Saturday you get to spend all day getting ready for Halloween. Also on Friday after school you can spend some time picking out your costume. This Halloween I am going with one of my friends which is going to be so much fun!!!

I would say my most favorite costume was when I was going to this party for my church or my old church that I don’t go to anymore. I dressed up as a horse or I tried to!!! I was a brown horse and I had a horse head and everything. I was pretty funny.
`
My favorite Halloween candy is chocolate and Snickers. I also like Skittles!! That candy I would say are my favorite of all. I hate peanut butter so that means I hate candy that has peanut butter in it….GROSS!!!

My history for Halloween:
Halloween is one of the world's oldest holidays, dating back to pagan times. But it is celebrated today by more people in more countries than ever before. There’s a simple reason: it is fun and it is good, clean, harmless fun for young and old alike! But the most plausible theory is that Halloween originated in the British Isles out of the Pagan Celtic celebration of
Samhain. It goes back as far as 5 B.C. It was believed that spirits rose from the dead and mingled with the living on this day. The Celts left food at their doors to encourage good spirits and wore masks to scare off the bad ones. Some historians believe that the Romans who invaded England added a few of their own traditions to the celebration of Samhain; such as celebrating the end of the harvest and honoring the dead; others say that since the Romans never conquered the Celts (Ireland and Scotland) there was no mingling of cultures, and that the Celts celebrated the end of the harvest and honored their dead in this way, anyway!

Thats my Halloween!!!
