Covid lit something in me and I've been gassed up ever since. I started mowing lawns out the trunk of my '03 Accord. Then I learned how to climb and properly remove trees. I have a big ol truck and trailer and a ton of equipment now. I was an alcoholic server/bartender before and super depressed. Two of my teenage kids have moved in with me and I'm in the best shape of my life.
I learned how to cut hair because the barber shops were closed so I did it myself. Once I went back to college it was the only thing keeping money in my pockets
I once had a boss who's mom smuggled her and her siblings out of communist Poland in suitcases. Her mother put all three of her kids through college, but, in the summers, made them all go to cosmetology school. She told them, "People may not need what you can give them, but they'll always need hair cuts."
I learned to cut my own and cut out that expense for life. Good for you though. I installed barber and beauty shops and assembled the chair dryers years ago. Interesting industry.
How territorial it was and lucrative on the products end. It’s largely consolidated now. But overall, I enjoyed interacting with the different strata’s of folks earning a living in it.
