Has anyone become a nail tech while working on their bachelors?

Just wondering if anyone has gone through this experience. I’m a mommy to a 3 month old baby girl. The technician program starts in about two weeks and is over in late December when I’ll be finishing up my final exams for my undergrad. I can’t take time off school to do the program but it’s something I’m really passionate about and would like to add on. Since I’m a junior in college now I have the run down of how university works so I understand how stressful class loads can be.

The reason I want to do it now is because we are committing to university (her dad and I) Tuesday and Thursday from 7:45-3:15 Tuesday and Thursday we drive separate so I’ll get back at 3:15. The program starts at 5:30 and ends at 9pm Tuesday and Thursday then I go in Saturday at 8:30-4pm. I feel like right now is the best time to do it since we will be moving back to our university in the spring and I have the support of my parents in addition to my boyfriend all under the same roof.

I’m nervous but excited at the same time, I’m also blessed that my dad has once finally taken me seriously when it comes to wanting to explore within the beauty industry on top of finishing up my undergrad.

Thanks for reading this, I know it’s not the most conventional way of doing things but it would be great to know if anyone was in a similar position 😂
