The Incomplete Guide to Career Success with Pets
This book was a disappointment. Its subtitle is "A complete guide to starting your own rewarding career with pets", but this book is far from complete. It fails to mention some of the most basic considerations, such as liability insurance. While none of the advice was way off base, the danger of this book is that someone may read it and get an oversimplified idea of how easy it is to start their own business. I think that the books also glosses over the experience and education required to start some pet related businesses; for example, the section on pet training suggests that people who have, ". . . a general knowledge of working with animals. . ." may wish to start this type of business. The author never mentions that it would be beneficial to have experience training animals, to have taken a training course, or to have any real, relevant experience. Encouraging people to leap before they look is a disservice to them and to any customers they may have.
