I can't understand the first sentence at all and think it is uncalled for.
It's really simple I would have thought:
I can't understand the first sentence ... means, Where is the relevance here?? Can't see why you would have written that as the poster clearly was not terrified nor are hundreds of other new posters. I clearly was not saying that I literally did not understand what you meant by the sentence.
... and think it is uncalled for. Means ... it was an unnecessary and uncalled for comment as it served no purpose at all as it is obvious that it is patently untrue.
Where you think I show I am offended by it, beats me!! I don't offend easily.
You make an assumption which simply is not correct, based on my 20 years of teaching in the nail profession.
MANY people
do not enter this industry because they 'have a basic interest in IT,(meaning nails ). Thousands enter this industry because they see MONEY in it and they think it is a cheap and easy way to make a fast buck.
They want to take the quickest and easiest route to making that fast buck and have really no interest whatever in nails outside of making that fast buck. They certainly have no interest in doing the job right. Very short sighted of them, but none the less, true.
One day classes service people with this motive as well as unsuspecting 'others' who simply do not know how inadequate the classes are and are duped. One day classes do not give anyone a basic ground work. At best one day classes give the
basics of the basic groundwork ... if that.
It is the same in the beauty industry. You have your beauty therapists who have trained for
years in depth and really understand what they are doing, and then you have the
'one day wonders' who have done a one day class (one can hardly call it a course ... as it is a course of nothing) in giving a basic facial. A one day class in Reflexology!! A one day class in waxing, etc etc. And these people
operate as fully trained and qualified Beauty Therapists. It must gall the well trained professionals, just as it galls me when I see the same thing in the nail business.
Of course training is an on going LIFE LONG thing. That is why at the Creative Nail Academy we call it Life Long Learning! I will not go on about that as I have done in many many posts and it can be searched if one is interested.
I think it is plain for
anyone to see the proliferation of untrained (or badly trained) people who are doing nails. It is a real problem in our industry and these one day classes that promise training are one of the reasons for it. People fall for it because they think doing nails is easy and they will pick it up right away, they do not think about all the other things that go along with the 'doing' part ... they think it will be a cinch and that one day is all they need!
If someone asks me for advice ... which is what I am here for, then I am going to give them the benefit of my experience. I don't think anyone should find it 'terrifying' ... just the truth. Take your hard earned cash and do something with it that is worthwhile and will give you a positive result for that experience.
