I am in the same position. exhausted my pell grants etc. I want to enter the cosmetology field (specifically Nails). The beauty industry is a booming business. If you know the trends and follow a lot of people in the business you know this, so I wouldn't listen to what (Unit) is saying.

I can't give you advice on what you should do as far as financially. , but I would go ahead and go to the school you want to attend and get info from them on how to go about funding. Do something that will make you happy., and that you will want to do. The beauty industry is non stop and will continue to grow. Being in the beauty business does not restrict you from just working in a salon, you can teach, you can get into tv and film, brand reps, fashion shows, and events. You have already invested in the ride just keep going. They are opportunities out there you just need to hustle to get them and prove your worth.
