when i grow up.
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
Right now I am on Mat leave from my job but in a few months I'll either have to go back or find another job or decide what I want to do.
I have almost $23,000 debt in student loans.
I graduated from Business Marketing. I love the creative portions of proposal writing.
Currently I don't find my job very creative (being a mom yes but not my actually job). I know that there is opportunities within the company if I stick it out long enough but then again I might just be wasting my time working there just because the money/benefits is good and there is the possibility of upward movement into a more creative(ish) position. I say creative(ish) because I wouldn't be able to express myself fully because I would have to stay within the company image (which is quite conservative).
Ideally I want to own my own company. My BF and I have talked about owning an event planning business but the more I think about it the more I don't like that business idea. I think it would be fun but I just don't think I could be passionate about it.
Today it dawned on me that being a hairdresser is something that interests me and is creative. If I decided to persue this I would want to work for myself and have a very niche market of people who want very creative cuts/styles. I would not want to be cutting/perming old lady poodle hair.
It is something that I would have to give more though to. One thing that would hold me back is my debt. I'm going to have to do some research on the beauty industry and see if there is a niche market for what I would want and how much I could make by working for myself. I do feel excited about this revelation.
If any of you are hairdressers tell me what you love/hate about your career.
