Today, I was telling one of my patients I was upset because my sister wants to go to beauty school, and that I don't want her getting a worthless qualification and to aim higher. My patient replied by saying she's a hair dresser. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister tried to convince me to go to a plastic surgeon, because "Bitchface Syndrome's no joke." FML
Today, my dad, under threats of disowning me, insisted that I offer my sister a job in my company. I run my own law firm, she is a hairdresser. FML
Today, my therapist told me that I need to do something different with my hair. Then I paid her. FML
Today, I got a haircut at a fancy salon and made small talk with the stylist. While she washed my hair, I said, “Wow, this is better than my girlfriend does it.” She replied, “That’s because I’m a professional. Also, I’m your girlfriend’s cousin.” FML
Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML
Today, I got in an argument with my teacher for always comparing me to my sister that she had a few years before. After I said, "I'm not my sister so please stop comparing me to her," she responded, "Of course you're not your sister, I actually like your sister." FML
Today, my mother told me I should think about quitting school. She explained that the reason was because she didn't want me to be more successful than my older sisters. FML
Today, I was at the hairdresser's getting a trim. The lady doing my hair commented on how beautiful and luscious my hair was, which made me feel really good. I later overheard her telling her colleague that hair as nice as mine was wasted on someone with a face like mine. FML
Today, my sister has been going on and on about how sexy her new doctor is. She’s been plotting to fake an illness just to see him again. When I explained that doctors are professionals and even if he were interested it would be unethical for him to say so, she called me a fat, jealous loser. FML
Today, I got my sister to pluck my eyebrows. She shaped them wrong, so now I look constantly sad. FML

I've been doing hair for 10 years now and make quite a bit more money than most of my friends who have "professional" jobs. Next time you're getting your own hair done why don't you take a moment to ask your stylist about the Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, and Electricity classes he/she had to take before you write it off as a "worthless qualification".

First off, you can make good money in hair. Women are vain, men are vain, and everyone is willing to pay to look good. And before you write it off as worthless, why don't you cut someone's hair, and see how it turns out? While I would never go into hairdressing, I would never deem it worthless... otherwise my hair would look like crap. Second off, you should ALWAYS know what your patients work in before complaining. It avoids insulting them. Third off... your patients are NOT paying you to complain. Do your job, be cheerful, and listen to THEM complain. Fourth off... I hope your hairdresser never hears you think low of him. You may never look acceptable again.

"worthless" qualification? News flash, there is no such thing. Any job out there whether you need a degree or not does something for society. You complaining to your patient and deeming anything as worthless just shows how "unqualified" you are for your job at hand. Oh and by the way. I'm going to cosmetology school and even I know better than to complain to my clients. (;

You are a bitch

Not everyone has to be a doctor,lawyer or therapist like you. Hairdressers make a good amount of money. She's doing what she loves. It's better than her doing a job she hates.

It's not worthless if it is something you really want

What if I want meth

Meth IS valuable. People shoot and stab each other for it all the time. However, meth is not financial security through a better paying job, it is a money-sucking black hole that leads to illness and jail time.

Why are you complaining to a stranger about your sister? If she likes it she can do it, it's better than her being stuck in a job she hates.

Don't worry, OP. I voted Your Life Sucks. It was just bad luck that you said that to a hairdresser. There's nothing wrong with you wanting your sister to get a more secure and higher paying job.

You are a real snob. There is nothing wrong with going to beauty school. What's wrong is your attitude.
