@daleviewrd so! a lot of people saying you can’t make money at this job but that hasn’t really been my experience. my experience is that it’s an absolutely backbreaking job but you can make a good amount off of it. (I made 55k last year and I’ve had coworkers that were making in the 80s-even six figures (doing an amount of haircuts that I, a pretty quick groomer, found insane) but the girlies that were making that much were definitely disabled by their chronic pain, so. y’know. pick your poison.
but I’m also 3 years in and I was definitely not making that much as an apprentice, so you’d be taking a hefty paycut, probably until around your second year (where, in my experience, it “clicks” for a lot of people and their speed goes up)
I’m concerned about everyone in comments saying they’re making significantly less. y’all ok? I couldn’t imagine doing this job without it being cushy it’s hard as fuck
