My name is Jane, I don't drink or do drugs. I am 19. I work at Burger King (pt). I live with parents. I am a student at a community college. I'm taking a lot of classes this semester, and it has been stressful for me. I plan to reduce my classes next semester. My political science class needs a lot of study time. I wish that I could drop it, but it's too late in the semester for me to drop any classes. Math is not my strongest subject. I like mathematics. I wish I had a pet dog. I might join the dog-walking business after I progress further in school.
My name is Jess. I have my own dog-walking business. I plan to expand and hire more dog-walkers. I want to start a doggy day care. I have three pet dogs named Biscuit, Gravy, and Simone Biles, after my favorite gymnast. I feed them French fries from Burger King as a treat. I sometimes bring my dogs to work at my dog-walking business, but it can be difficult to walk so many dogs at once. They get along well with other dogs. I graduated from college with a degree in accounting. I enjoy math and gymnastics. I took a political science class in college that I did not enjoy. I like economics. I want to take animal health classes to help my business. I like jogging. I like hiking. I like to watch gymnastics.
I just watched the national qualifier event for the USA Gymnastics team, did you catch it on TV? No, I missed it!  I had planned to watch it and then I go busy with something else and missed it.  How was it? It was awesome, I can't believe some of the routines that they pull off! Have you competed in any gymnastic competitions? When I was young I did a little bit of competitive gymnastics, but I didn't participate in college or anything like that.  I had just become a spectator at that point.  I wish I could have been out there, but I didn't have the ability or dedication for it. I bet it takes a lot of dedication. How is your dog walking business going? It's going quite well!  Thanks for asking.  We seem to be getting more clients and more clients sticking with us for longer periods.  I tell you, I am absolutely going to have to hire another dog walker to help out, and I'll give you right of first refusal.  No pressure or anything, but the offer stands, otherwise I'm going to have to look for someone.  I would love that! Thank you! What do you like best about the job? Have you ever had issues with the dogs not getting along? I just love being around happy-go-lucky dogs all day.  They bring such warmth and joy into life.  And yes, sometimes dogs don't get along.  But dogs are great because they can usually be distracted with some treats.  And in the worst-case scenario, I just have to struggle with them a little more than usual. I think I could definitely handle that! I love dogs, they all have such unique personalities. I used to not really want them, but once I got one, I totally understood why people love them so much. Yes, they're wonderful animals. And if you're a little apprehensive at first I would make sure to start you out with dogs that I know are really cooperative and get along.  I really don't have too many rambunctious dogs that I work with regularly. I'm sure you check them out before agreeing to walk them. So what made you decide to go with the dog walking business, rather than accounting? I like being outdoors too much to work in an office, at least right now.  But it's great because I get to use my accounting degree on my own business.  I don't feel like it was a wasted education.  I use it every day!
