Quick perspective: I am currently being trained to groom. I'm not 100% there yet; I'm doing pretty well with the clipper work and I've started scissoring, but not much.
I read that it can be hard to find committed bathers for some salons. I started working as a bather because I love the salon, I love dogs, and I love the work. I started training as a groomer because I'm barely making more than minimum wage bathing and groomers get paid more. I also tend to get a little antsy when I'm not learning anything new. My question is would it be pertinent at all to suggest I keep bathing, but with a pay raise and more responsibilities, like adding feather trimming and quick shavedowns? Or should I just go with the grooming training, no questions asked? Which would make me more valuable as an employee in your salon?
