Grr. So...what is all of this mumbling and grumbling about?
You really don't want to know, but since it's my blog you get what I throw out there.
I've been pretty uncertain about which way I'm going in my career. I had it all figured out just a month ago. But everything has changed since then. What are the pros and cons in the hair field? Well, pros are pretty positive: hair always grows, open up your own shop, flexible hours, being a mom wouldn't be that big of a deal when the time comes, good pay, etc. Overall, it's not a bad idea. But...then there's the cons: building a buisness and a name for yourself takes time. And money. Lots of it. If you move, you lose everyone and you have to build up again. And last but not least, I didn't get into the class this year, so what am I going to do?
Yeah. I know.
I called today and asked when I might be hearing back about my application and she said that it should be pretty soon and transferred me to another gal. I explained to her who I was and she said, "Yes, but you applied in June." ("but" what? Had I done something wrong...by applying in June? What the cow?) "Yes, that is correct." "Well, the class was filled in May, so -..." (HOLD UP! Why the CRAP did you guys not tell me that in JUNE when I applied?!! Am I ticked? Oh! YES!) "Oh. Ok...so I can't get in this fall..." "Well," ( Such a sharp tone. It grates all the way down my spine. She's so...curt.) "we aren't going to know that until classes begin and we find out who all shows up." (So you're tellin' me there's a chance!) "Oh, so there might be a chance-..." "We have a very long waiting list..." (So you're telling me there's a -...) "...I'll go ahead and leave your name on it and I would say that you probably won't get in this fall and not January either. If you don't get a call by next April, you might call and see if your name is still on the list." (Ok. I'm numb, now.) "Ok. Thanks." "Have a good day." *click* (sure will...thanks for ruining it.)
I started thinking the other day (again) about if I should do nursing. But I had hair to look forward to...maybe this is a sign. I'll just have to pray about it. Leave your thoughts. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those...nights...I think church will help. Blah.

If you're really interested in nursing I would say that's going to be 100 times more useful than hair. Hon, you can teach yourself to cut hair and go to school for it on the side to pursue as an interest. Nursing is SUCH a viable career, it's flexible and in huge, did I mention HUGE demand right now! You can take it anywhere and it's a perfect "mom" career too because it's so flexible.
That's what I say. Hey, I'm headed back for my Master's this fall. Exciting, huh?
Oh yeah, the salaries aren't even comparable. You would make so much more nursing...
