"Why do people say it is not a real job. We make real money don't we?"
Because you're supposed to hate your job, if you LIKE going to work then
obviously it isn't really work! LOL!

I know that thinking all to well.When I started doing hair years ago my In-laws
told me I'd never make any money.Being 19 I belived them and got out of it.I
still did it at home.My daughter wanted to do hair and I supported her.10 yrs
latter she has her own place and makes 1,000.00 in a day sometimes.She just
turned 30.Out of 8 grand kids of my in-laws she has the best career/income.She
also bought her house at age 24.I've come back to do nails.I love it.But with
negative additudes it does hold people back that could be very good.

I don't know, if you read the article, basically no wonder we are NOT
considered "valuable", "smart" "educated" , We only go to cosmo
school because we can't do anything else. How sad. You know the
statements we have gotten over the years,"oh, a nail tech?". Or the
look. Or a family member or hubby or friend wants you to get a "real"
career. Or the daughter or son that wants to go to cosmo school and
the disappointment on the parents face or in the tone of their voice.
I don't know, even though I do have a college degree, plus went to
cosmo school, after all my accomplishments, still get the "attitude"
or "look". I shrug it off, because these people have ZERO clue, just
a career that is general knowledge is not respected. I think part
of the problem is how many that are in the business that don't
respect the career, which in turn gives us ALL a bad reputation. The
98% that do not make it and how much damage did they cause in that
short period of time.
WOW, how many careers are out there that 98 PERCENT do not follow
thru? No wonder we have a problem!!!!! Lordy Be. SHOCKING!!!
But then again, according to the article only 1 to 2% actually are in
the industry 5 years from now, which means we are the cream of the
crop.And for those people that "look down" on our careers, they sure
do count on us!!! by spending billions of dollars.
(would like to see a national average on graduates on the 5 year
rate, this 1-2 % is for this area only)
Just a couple of quotes that I thought was interesting about our
careers, read the whole article
http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/article1044637.ece diana from indiana
"More than $2.3 million in federal economic stimulus grants have gone
to eight Tampa Bay area cosmetology and massage schools to pay
tuition for the hairdressers, masseuses and nail technicians of tomorrow. "
"said Monica Ponce, owner of Muse The Salon in Tampa. "Instead of
encouraging more people to go to beauty schools," Ponce said, "they
should probably help the stylists who are unemployed."
"industry lobbyists say beauty school is rarely a ticket to a
thriving career. "
Only 1 to 2 percent of beauty school graduates will be working in the
field five years from graduation, said Bonnie Poole, treasurer of the
Florida Cosmetology Association.
"Yes, it's a good trade," Poole said. "But it's only for a select few
who want to wade through the mud to get to where they want to be."
