Please explain...
From standing all day
Yep. Then I became a floor nurse. Three or four major surgeries later and my right leg still gives me fits.
Not to mention inhaling hair a oil all day, lol.
But I did get rich in friendships!
I appreciate this. I don't enjoy hanging out in barbershops for 2 hours due to a strong lack of interest in sports.
My preferred approach is the appointments during busy times/days and walk-ins welcome for the rest.
I always hated sitting around waiting for customers to show up. And the ones that thought making an appointment was calling 5 minutes before they wanted to get a cut, lol.
Man, I sound cranky. Get off my lawn!
Fair enough. I only go to one shop around here because they are open till 6 and since its after work, I can accept the complimentary beer
You know, when I quit drinking one of my buddies said I didn't cut hair as good, and started going somewhere else! I guess my creative juices flowed better with flowing beer...Fair enough.

I hear you. Ive worked factory jobs for the past 20 years where Im usually on my feet 10-12 hours a day. The only advantage to that though is that Im constantly moving. For the past 5 years, Id been in a department where I was mostly standing in 1 place all day, operating a machine and it took a toll on my feet and knees.
My granddaughter's high school offers cosmetology as a course (I guess VoTech isn't totally dead). When she graduates she will have her license and a skill to help her pay her way through college. She will get scholarships, but getting full rides isn't very common unless you are either super brilliant or can dribble a ball.
Good for her! That's how I did it. I had a hard time in skool, ADHD,. dyslexic, trouble maker. I went in the principal's office and told him I quit, that I was going to barber school instead, as all I needed was to be 16, no diploma required. He told me I could go to beauty skool instead of my senior year of high school and it was free.
I was the only boy (that liked girls) in a school of a couple hundred or so. Never regretted it. Every Saturday I either got my hair cut or did the girls makeup. It'll be 40 years ago come July. Time flies.
I pay 12 or so for a young lady to cut mine .The shops with guys charge 11.I'll pay the extra buck to look at the ladies.
It's always been about more coming in than going out, that's for sure.Or they read the wrong books ...
With my hair, I get a free bowl of soup too.
