I am losing my job tomorrow and trying to decide if I should take another $6.50/hr job or if I should go to hair school for the big bucks. It will take me 7.5 months to complete with no possibility of a social life. Should I sacrifice for a bigger gain or do the regular thing everybody else is doing?

This is your life. One of the biggest problems we have is worrying about, or trying to do what everybody else is doing. Go for it! Go for it with gusto!

7.5 months isn't a long time to invest in yourself and the rewards at the end will be great. You will have to make time for a social life and if you can't, don't sweat it. Socializing doesn't pay the bills.
