Hi All,
I am almost 59, 60 next Year, I have worked most of my life in office management, I gave up work to be a carer to my brother in law who is mentally handicapped, and now my husband who has parkinsons disease.
This is the first time in my life I feel as though I have missed out greatly in the career world.
I am asking myself is it to late for me now to train in hairdressing? something for me for a change, and a career I have thought about for many years but just never took the plunge.
When I read about people in their 40's worrying about their age to be in hairdressing I want to shout get on with it before its to late, which perhaps it is for me.
Any thoughts anyone? I love doing hair, and enjoy cutting mens which i seem to be good at, but I would really get stuck in there and show what I am capable of, as I feel I am very creative, but just never get the chance to prove myself.
I do have a young out look, I think you have to in this day and age, I have young Nieces who laugh at the thought of me going into hair dressing, and some who think I should get on with it.
To get a wage would be great, but I would be willing to part paid work or some voluntary work just to gain experience, what do you think? cheers all xxx
