Hey it's gonna sound crazy but after working behind a desk for 11 years as a project manager I was laid off this past November. With the job market in my old field almost non-existant on the East Coast here in New York I had to find a new career. So at 37 years old and with encouragement of family and friends I finally registered for a Cosmetology course and although it's only been 2 weeks I absolutely feel that it's my passion.
Love the people, the atmosphere, everything is great I can't wait to finish school obtain my license and work in a salon and someday open my own business. Anyway I won't ramble on about how much I am enjoying myself but I truly belive I found my passion. And I'm using my creative talents in a new way for me and really just beginning what I hope is a long, enjoyable and rewarding career move.
I have to tell you that over the last 7 years I have interviewed some of the most successful hairdressers in the industry AND many of them started it as a second career. If I had the time, I would take more cosmetology classes myself. It is a fabulous profession.
Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
Best wishes, Karen Shelton

I'm bumping this message back up in hopes you will reply to let us know how you are doing.
Passion in what you do for a living makes all the difference, no matter which profession. I wish you well! I'm doing what I love best, and it really helps to get me out of bed each day with a smile.
