Five weeks Left

Well now that the year is almost over I can say wow where did the year go? Of course while I was in the midst of my 70 hr weeks and no life it felt like forever. I am in the final push, trying to get it together for the State Board Exam. My test date is the end of Jan, so keep your fingers crossed that I will pass on the first go around.

Lately I have been thinking, what next? Whats my next step? Right now I am possibly considering Mud Make up School for another 9 weeks of Education which is hideously expensive. But I am thinking that I may want to go down the road of Celebrity Hair, or hair for movies, and live events in which case having as many tools in my toolbelt could make all the difference. I don't ever want to be in the position of someone wanting to hire me and then saying oh but we can only hire one person so we want them to be able to do both hair and make up.
Also I am thinking that while building my career I could do bridal on the weekends and offer both makeup and hair services. I will let you know what i decide to do. My other option of course is to forego the makeup and just get a job as an apprentice at a Salon.
