Current Events > I'm almost done with my masters in CS but contemplating in enrolling in art

(+) Yeah! (+)

Specifically, hair styling. From my CS internships, the pay is good with relaxed work environments, but I always felt that the creativity side and human-interaction component is very lacking. Most of the time, I am working alone in isolation to get the job done --- it's not appreciative and stimulating, even when developing graphics shaders and 3D modeling.

Most styling schools are only 1 year, which doesn't seem long at all, and they only require a HS diploma and motivation-assessment interview. Although, the biggest barrier is convincing my parents about this, who already spend $30k for my education.

Should I take the initiative and switch, or is financial security more important?

you can be a hair stylist once u make enough of your own damn money and see if its worth all the opportunity cost and the real cost.

ie no

Dude finish CS then start art.

Don't throw away the last few years of your life

Wtf NO

Why dont you do CS as a main career and hair styling in your free time? Its a good comprise.

Then you're doing it wrong or at the very least don't have the experience in providing for clients and working on a team.

I wish i had the white privilage to splurge on education while my parents pay for it. Instead im thousands of dollars in debt and scrambling for a job befpre interest payments destroy my ass XDDDDD end me.
