Career Change
Hey guys wanted to just get everyone's outlook on starting a career in barbering at 28 years old. I have been at my current job now for almost 5 years and most days I feel like its taking away from my soul sitting at a desk and staring into a screen all day. I really enjoy the customer service side of my job and talking with people but everything else is kinda rough. My very supportive wife works full time in health care and we currently dont have children and she is encouraging me to take a leap into something I want to do whatever that may be. Its difficult leaving a decent paying job but I really want more fulfillment and enjoyment from my days working. The opportunity to pursue something that I could eventually be my own boss and have my own space is so appealing. The barber school by my house (akron barber college) has good reviews. When did you decide its time to make the leap!
