I'm just coming up 18, never really had any idea what i want to do career-wise until me and my friend had this idea:
in the future i would love to own a reptile shop, no idea how we're going to make this happen but i can see it working, with the right determination. At the moment it seems like a long way off but i can see myself enjoying this line of work.
Currently studying business so i guess that would help, i probably sound pretty ignorant right now, but i'm sure i can learn and also get family guidance from people who have done similar things.
what do you guys think? |

Its a lot of work, many reptile shop owners I know don't have many reps at home just like 1 or even none as its like taking your work home with your, sometimes you can love stuff so much you end up hating it if that makes sense *_* although they are cruddy shops lol |

awwww. good luck with it. although remember studying is all very well and good but experience is the deal breaker. so start increasing the collection  |

i know, but on the other hand, what the internet can't provide is good customer service, pets ( to an extent ) and a good reputation. i know it would have to appeal to your average person, for example not just focusing on reptiles. i think it would be a good career to consider, thanks a lot :) |

There are not many reptile shops in Scotland that i would say are any good, this in part will be because of the tinterwebby thing. There are more and more online facilities available and at better prices than shops can provide.
However saying that, a good reptile shop is worth its weight in gold, so if you go down that road I shall wish you good luck and every success |
