What do you do for a living and what do you like about it and hate about it?

Barber - Pros: everyday is different, I basically chat to my mates for a living, I have picked up enough random facts to win any pub quiz, if you’re good then the money is great, relatively stress free, working hours are whatever you want them to be.

Cons: stood up all day, you realise how bad some peoples personal hygiene is, hair gets EVERYWHERE (I have clothes that have never been worn for work that are hairy), it can be a bitchy industry sometimes eg. Other barbers like to say stuff to their own clients and think word won’t get back to you, it can be difficult to not think about work sometimes.

For me though, the pros greatly outweigh the cons
