ย #DebtFreeGoals #CareerChange #BeautyIndustryDreams ๐โโ๏ธ๐
Hey everyone! ๐ So, I recently graduated with a bachelor’s in speech therapy and find myself with a 25k debt. Not really feeling like pursuing a master’s degree. ๐ Now, I’m considering a career change to the beauty industry or maybe even becoming a content creator/influencer. But I’m wondering, is it possible to pursue these paths while still having debt looming over me? ๐ค
Here are some thoughts and possible solutions that I’m considering:
– Becoming a hair or nail tech๐โโ๏ธ๐
– Opening a beauty-related business ๐ฌ๐
– Content creation/influencer route ๐ธ๐
Do you think it’s realistic for me to pursue these dreams with my current financial situation? ๐คทโโ๏ธ Or would it be more practical for me to go back to school for social work/mental health counseling? ๐ค
Share your thoughts and any advice you may have! Let’s help each other out as we navigate this journey towards our dream careers! ๐ช๐ซ
Have you looked at the cost of nail/hair school? Last number I heard was $20k.
Have you considered automotive tech? I hear it’s more lucrative
This post is a pipedream. You want “the money” to work for you? What money? Social media? Wake up, you are 25k in debt. Sorry to be an ass, but come back down to us in the real world.
I think you need to talk to Dave Ramsey over the phone for a reality check…
Have you ever considered working in, say, I know this is a long shot and super unusual for you to considerโ speech therapy?
I have student loans and work for myself. I highly recommend not quitting your day job until your business is profitable enough to cover your life expenses.
Most influencers had to wait years before they could earn money from it. In the meantime they worked day jobs. You’d need a cosmetology license to work in the beauty industry; you’d work in a salon for other people. And it doesn’t sound like you have any experience running a business, so you’d need to learn how to do that by working for other people first; you could work your way up to manager. The money will never work for you if you run your own business; you’ll be working around the clock just to make a profit.
Costs nothing to be an influencer. Well, time. Commitment, consistency and a long time. Debt wouldn’t matter at all. No harm in trying
Can u use that speech to get people to pay u for it.
Creators for gamegrumps took 10 years to finally have their channel take off enough to support themselves on YouTube.ย ย
ย But for the love of everything do not do supplement sales.
ย So much pandering on social media of people doing that and FDA approval not being needed for a lot of those kinds of products.ย ย
ย There are medical devices used in speech therapy in some cases so may as well see if there is a company looking for a rep to learn the product/devices.ย ย
ย Bad experiences with companies can make clinics decide to change who they receive devices from and such at times. Plus depending on how they do it for device reps you may earn a base and maybe commission.ย
>just let the money work for me
What money?ย
Youโre 25k in debt. Something like a tattoo/beauty business would require a lot of startup capital i would imagine, capital you do not have.ย
I would get a job with your bachelors, pay off debt/get starting capital, and *then* consider starting a business.ย
