Nurse vs. Cosmetologist ( which to choose/) Heeeelp!!!!!!!!!?

I am a 22 yr old single mother from Maryland torn between two careers. I grew up in the beauty industry since I was 3 yrs old. My mother is a clelebrity hairstylist that has advanced and exceeded many expectations set in the beauty field. She just obtained her masters degree in cosmetology and travels all over the world as an educator. I myself have a dying passion for doing hair a being creative. On the other side I always wanted to persue a career in nursing but it require hard work and dedication that I don’t have right now. To me I feel there is no way possible I can work full time( which I have to to pay my bills), go to school, and be a full time mother. I know it’s been done but how??? My mother always says with my sense of creativity and my bossiness I need to be in buisness for myself and set my own schedule so that I can spend as much time as I want with my daughter and doing things I like to do and there’s sooo much $$$ to make. What to do???

Not everyone makes is big as a cosmetologist but nurses are always in demand; even more so as the population ages. Doesn’t mean you can’t do both. My sister-in-law is a nurse but only works12 hours a week. She could actually have a second job but likes her free time (her husband is the main bread winner).

Are you looking long term or short term? I see mainly younger stylists in our local businesses. I see nurses of all ages. Your mother is now an educator, as you stated, so she is using her experience to indirectly affect the industry as opposed to helping individuals (other than her students).

You have to decide which is more satisfying to you and $$$ is not everything.

Good luck with whichever choice you make.

You are only 22. Nobody says that you must choose a career by a certain age. You could go to school and become a nurse, once you become successful in the cosmetology industry. I am sure you want to provide for your child financial, but you also need to provide by being a calm, happy mother.

opposite to customary concept, instructors are easily fairly nicely paid. in no way the main suitable, yet you will earn a good salary. If coaching is your dream, then decide for it. you won’t force the fanciest motor vehicle, yet whilst that is definitely the occupation you love, then you shouldn’t fret approximately money. The margin of turning out to be a definite quantity of money should not be the only foundation for figuring out the type you desire to spend your existence. i myself plan on being a instructor besides (First I could end college, nevertheless), and that i’m able to inform you that in case you get excitement from passing on wisdom, besides as encouraging youthful minds, then i’m able to inform you that, on a similar time as coaching isn’t the main favored job, it is going to unquestionably be your maximum suitable decision.
