Ok, so basically I’m 19 I recently finished my first year of college at a really expensive university for Fashion design & marketing.. I work a full-time 8 to 6 job, and I have no choice, because I pretty much support myself. I had to stop going to the university I was attending, because of the costs, and now I’m really burned out from work and everything, but I know I need to stay in school. I want to own my own business, preferably a salon, so I recently decided I wanted to go to cosmetology school, because I’m really interested in that, and would love it. Why do people (my aunt, my family) look down on cosmetology school??? My aunt says she doesnt want me to be surrounded by retards, and people beneathe me.. and other people look at it as an “easy” career, where I wont be making money.. when I tell them of my dreams, they dont believe I’ll make it happen. Is cosmetology really that low of a career choice? I dont want to make a mistake..
