College or cosmetology?

Question

Hello I am part of a family of four I am 17 years old in I am graduating early and haven't decided between college or cosmetology school. I'm afraid if I only go to cosmetology school people will think less of me because everyone else in my family went to a university. How do I make a decision??? Please help. Also I have a boyfriend in college three hours away and want to make a choice with him in mind.

Answer

Do what makes you happy first of all, but second I think it's always a.good idea to have a cirtifcation and a degree. I'm 22 and currently finishing a program I started when I was 19 for Medical Administration so I can earn $15/hr working 9-5 and go back to college then. I've tried going to school and working at different jobs and it sucks to make minimum wage and try to go to school.

Answer

I went to college first because I didn't want my parents to disapprove and I just ended up dropping out because it wasn't what I wanted. So now I'm in cosmetology school and I couldn't be more happier. Just follow your heart guuuuurl

Answer

I went to cosmetology school and worked as a cosmetologist for 3 years and then worked as a sales associate at Sally's Beauty Supply for a year and then got promoted to Assistant manager and eventually quit before becoming an actual manager. Cosmetology school was a "spare of the moment" decision after breaking up with a boyfriend I was on again off again with for 2 1/2 years. After I graduated I was so sick of seeing hair and dealing with hair, sadly even my own became a burden to me. Cosmetologist where I live (Pennsylvania) only make $25,000 a year and now that I'm married and trying for a family I just couldn't live off those wages. Hair to me is a hobby and that's it. I let my cosmetology license expire and that's that. I start school in January for my lifelong dream of becoming an RN. Do what best suits you and your lifestyle!
