    Unsure if I still want to pursue Dog Grooming (Help)

    @sjcargill It's not you, it's Petsmart. I was at the exact point you are, and it mentally destroyed me having to keep going into work and I was counting days for the contract to be up. Once it was, I left. And guess what? I became a better, more efficient groomer. I started to have fun again...
