So this may be kinda long. I went to school to be a cosmetologist. Absolutely loved it and still love doing hair. After multiple losses I stepped out of my industry A, to not be around the general public as my mental health just couldn’t handle it B, to go back to work in a factory making much more money. Around here there’s not a whole lot of options for salons that aren’t chains and I kinda screwed up my chance at Regis which is a fairly large chain of salons in my area. Well I’d like to go back to school for something else. For what? I have zero clue. All I know is that I currently have three children that I am supporting but I also feel like I’m failing them as a role model. Went 20,000 in debt for something that doesn’t make crap in my area. I want to try and find some type of program that’s not flooded with people as in you can’t find a job in that field. Anyone have any ideas? I can’t help but to look at the older people at my job and realize that this, is not what I want. Working with someone half my age making the same amount of money. I don’t want to be in a factory the rest of my life being treated like a piss on. After working in a salon for over a year it’s just so hard. I was actually valued and treated like an actual person. Not just another number like where I’m at now. I’m just so torn and idk what to do with myself and I feel like time is running out. I’ve tried going to the local college to seek help in finding a new career path but they were zero help. Any input would be appreciated. As I just feel so torn and lost currently.
