Wife suggested I should go to a Cosmotolgy school

This sounds like the best of every world imaginable! I don't see any negatives at all except for your physical issues. If you can get by those I think it's a superb opportunity for every facet of your life that you've described!

What a fabulous idea!

hay hun first.

I drive truck,

I have long dangle ear rings,

I have long acrylic nails , panted,

Plus if someone asks me I tell them I am CD. just the other day I was unloading on the street and a work site on the road, I was talking to the flag man , I big macho guy and we talked and I told him with out worry that I was a CD and hay no big deal. I have told bikes , hay no big deal.

The people I had thought would have the most negative reaction were just fine with it like My dad sister brother in law friends uncles cousins e.t.c. The one whom I knew would be fine with it was the one who hated it the most .........MOM. well I was shocked.

If you tell friends and family they might surprise you ,for the good. If your wife and daughter are fine with you telling other people then do it. You might be surprised at how well they take it.

With my nails painted I have been finding out that most people think I am gay....when I am not ,and that's fine but they never said anything bad about me to me or other wise. So try not to make up stories try to let then see you with painted nails , If they ask just smile and say nothing ,or tell them, you will feel better. Just clear it with your wife first.lol.

Give your family a great big hug from all of us and kiss them and tell them they ROCK OUT LOAD AND ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are receiving workers compensation incapacity benefits, you might be able to persuade the W/C insurance carrier to pay for the school with the promise that when you find work, you will be off the W/C rolls

[SIZE=4]I went to beauty school and now work full time as a cosmetologist, and run my transformation business. This is how I look at work. I wear anything I want because I am a contract employee, i.e., I rent a space and do my thing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Here is some real information about the hair/beauty business. It takes about 18 months plus or minus, full time to complete beauty school. It costs anywhere from $6000 to $30,000 to attend depending on the schools name and who it is associated with.The local Jean Juarez school is $25,000. Many colleges offer the certification program for the bottom price, that is how I did it. You will be with 50 to 80 teen aged girls and maybe one older persone, maybe one male in the whole group. You will learn the most basic stuff ever, how to sanitize and maintain a clean work station. then you learn basic hair rolling techniques,permanent application and so on.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Makeup and wig styling may take a whole day, not more, our entire makeup application and theory classes were under 8 hours. Wig stuff was almost 8 hours total, mostly out-dated theory stuff.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]As you get closer to the end you start practicing for the State boards, which have a very high failure rate by lots of the young girls who really aren't serious about the profession. My work mate failed three times in a row, then became a barista...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]After graduation, or shortly before when you have enough hours, you take the State practical and written exams. If you pass you apply for a license and usually get that within 4 weeks.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Then you start hitting up every salon that you want to work in. If you are interested in working as a male you will do ok, they don't really give men as much crap as they do women (or girls) Regardless, you start as the low person on the totem pole and must work your way up. Your technique may be good but your speed will kill you as far as working on clients. So, find a place that wants to train an associate or assistant and work your ass off. Get them coffee, listen to every word they say and learn how to move faster.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]This is not a job for fun. This is a day to day, stand on your feet all day, deal with grumpy people and people that are never satisfied with what anyone does to their hair. You simply do your best and keep practicing until your complaints become minimum. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]I now work as Tami, (after spending 18 months getting my speed down and building my skills up, the employees are very demanding, and mentally quiting at least a dozen times) deal with people everyday and do all the typical hair stuff, permanents, sets, color all the time and cuts. I now don't take crap from anyone simply because I don't have to. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]In my transformation business, I work with our community on an individual basis, teach feminine deportment, wig styling, makeup application, and provide overall support. You may draw your own conclusions on this aspect. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]I have invested about 24 months of full time education to be employable, work as a certified MAC makeup artist and a permanent cosmetics artist.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Bottom line, all of this may gross $30K if you really work at it. You will hear of stylists making $100K, some do but they are the headline act at very upscale salons. Otherwise, it is just a hobby..but you will get to do your wife's hair and nails and keep her happy...[/SIZE]
