Hello everyone
I have been reading this forum for years but only just joined!
I'm a Spa therapist and working for an agency, I qualified aged 30 (almost 4 years ago).
I have always wanted to work in this industry but I am finding SO many people that comment on my career, it's upsetting me and I don't know the best way to respond.
I have received comments such as: "Have you always wanted to be a beautician".
"Do you have any regrets?" "Maybe you should think of getting a better paid job".
"It's not good pay"
Has anyone else ever experienced this and if so; how do you deal with it?
I'm aware this industry isn't very well paid, but I love my job and couldnt imagine doing anything else.
I just wish people's reactions were different and took this career more seriously and treated it with a bit more respect.
