Q: im between the ages of 14-17 and i want to be a cosmetologist when i grow up. is it a good career? how much will it pay? wat classes do i need for it?

PS. i decided to choose this career because i love doing hair,makeup, nails etc. so its a job im intersted in.
You can go to a beauty school that is specifically catered towards teaching cosmetology.

How much you get paid is all up to you. You can get paid minimum wage working at a cosmetics counter, or you can get paid $100 an hour or more to do wedding or modelling makeup. You can set your own hours, or work from home on the side to make a little extra cash.

It's a good career if you're doing what you want to do. Some might look down on it, but life would be pretty boring if we were all doctors and engineers. If you can do your passion for a living, you're ahead of a lot of people!

Thank You.

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
