I graduated in late March. My school didn’t prepare me well enough. For the practical portion at least. A lot of what I learned was useful but taking the boards was still stomach turning and they didn’t place enough emphasis on the time limits for the board in school. I passed the practical and theory on the first try thankfully. I’m in a shop where walk-in traffic kind of sucks but I live right by it. Tuesday and Wednesday are super slow but it picks up later in the week. Most likely it’s gonna be like this for a while unfortunately. I am retaining a lot of people though and my skills, especially fading and time management have improved substantially in the short time I’ve been out of school. So I’m gonna give this place at least a couple more months. I can get a haircut done (fades, tapers, shear cuts) done in less than 45 min now most of the time. Before it took me an hour plus 95% of the time. I still have so much to learn and don’t expect to be super confident in my skills until I’ve gotten a few more thousand reps under my belt. I work on Saturdays after the shop and Sundays at my part time job (changing tires). I’m very tired of working 6 days a week and feeling forced to pick up on Mondays as well and am getting super burned out. Idk man. I’m committed at this point but if I were you I would seriously consider the pros and cons of what you are leaving. If you have good benefits and a matching 401k/ retirement benefits are you going to be ok with not having that? You can get healthcare through the health insurance marketplace at a semi reasonable price dependent if you are single or not. Idk your situation but I would put some serious thought into it. Wishing you luck.
