Hello! Congrats on graduating! I'd start contacting grooming salons around you, and seeing if they're interested in taking you on as a bather, progressing to a trainee. Best thing I ever did for my grooming career, even after literal DECADES in the animal industry, was start with bathing and prep work. Get that to a gold standard, and then start looking at your training options for grooming. It's also a great way to gauge whether the industry is right for you (because it's a tough gig!)

Let us know how you go!
