Im training to be a hairdresser, for the 1st year I loved it but now im gettin bored and just feel like i wanna quit and get a job! I know my mum and dad will be abit so thats the main reason why im trying to stick it out!!! i do like college, but im just gettin bored and im starting to not like what im doing, my mates are nice and we all have a laugh, i suppose im also stayin on at college cos its an easy life - dont have to get up too early, come home at 3.30, have half days sometimes. I spoke to my b/f about quitting and he thought i was joking with him but im so serious, i just felt like quitting a month ago, i spoke to my mate there and she said 'you cant see the light at the end of the tunnel' and shes right, im at college for another year and half and i just want out! I love being a hairdresser but i just want cash and get out of college!
Just wanted a rant really!!

4 years after leaving school i did actually have quite a good job but i just realised i was never going to have any real earning potential because i didnt have any worthwhile qualifications under my belt. now im in college full time on my 2nd year and i'm really glad i worked for the time i did, i can see people on my course just tossing it off and not really being bothered but because this is something i really want now ive got motivation to complete the course to the best of my ability and continue on to uni.
If i had just carried on with education back when i'd finished my aprenticeship however i wouldnt have been motivated at all and probably would have failed or dropped out.
I'd try having a chat with your folks and see what they think. put this side of the arguement forward but i would definately say get some qualifications - they are the language of money in the world of business!
And what is it you are not enjoying? (finding the work too hard/much? not what you want to do? dont get on with teachers etc?)
now lets be honest mate we aint done any work in class for the last couple of weeks so dont come that with me i know the real truth. 2day all we did was go on this and make images on photoshop
except the website that should have been in 2-3-4 weeks ago. im also doubting you have done the essay thats in for 2moz soz actually 2day have u?
I'm still more ahead than most in the group though, some even have assignments outstanding from last year :eek:
so have you unit 2 part 2 everones got that
so thats what i just said
But over soon. Either way, I think you should carry on and stick it out - it will be worth it at the end!
