What career is best for me?

Well lets see, today we did this career finder thing. And all I got was stuff that had to do with art or animals. Yes I like both so its a good thing to try. Its called CareerCruising.com. But some of the things it comes up with you aren't going to like I bet So from that I have got two ideas for what I want to be. 1 a pet groomer or 2 tattoo artist.


I say a pet groomer because I just love animals and I think it would be so cool to work with them all day and plus lets not for get the money. Most groomers are paid on an hourly basis. Those just starting out in the profession tend to make minimum wage or slightly more. With experience and training, they generally make between $8 and $13 an hour. However, it is possible to make more than this, depending on the groomer’s experience. Now think about how long it would take to cut hair (fur) on something that can't understand you. And did you know that there are no strict educational requirements for becoming a pet groomer. However, a high school diploma is highly recommended.

I say a tattoo artist because I love to draw and I'm not half bad at it people say and just think how cool it would be to know that something you draw is on someone for the hole world to see. I think that's really cool. But it’s difficult to determine an average salary for tattoo artists because their income depends on so many factors. A standard design or flash piece usually costs somewhere between $50 and $100. Most tattoo artists charge anywhere from $50 to $300 an hour for custom designed tattoos. Yearly salaries could be between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on how many customers the studio attracts, the sizes and types of tattoos requested, the experience of the artist, and whether or not the artist owns the studio or works within it as an employee. Tattooing isn't exactly your run-of-the-mill career, so there aren't any standard ways of entering it. Most aspiring tattoo artists learn their craft through an apprenticeship. To do this, they first create a portfolio of their own drawings to show to an experienced tattooist. If interested, the tattoo artist may agree to take on an apprentice. However most tattoo artists have at least a high school diploma with arts credits. I still don't know if I could be the one to do the tattooing but even if I could just draw for them that would be cool.
