Right now I am in cosmetology school. I love the artistic part of it and I truly enjoy doing hair and make-up. I like making people feel better about themselves. However, I go to a pretty high-end school with the help of financial aid. I am not wealthy. A lot of the girls I am in class with are wealthy or their parents are anyway. There is a lot of talk regarding name brands, expensive restaurants and other superficial bullshit. I look at the business as a form of art and a nurturing experience that can be enjoyed as opposed to trying to be something else or fit in into some lifestyle. Am I not superficial enough? I keep up with the trends and what not but it doesn't run my life. There is more to life than how you look. Am I in the wrong business?

You might do well going into more of a natural/relaxation spa environment than a cutting edge salon. It sounds like you have a great attitude about cosmetology-don't be put off by those girls.
