Hey guys, can someone please advise me.
I am 19 and currently out of education and starting an access to higher education diploma in January in health science. I have a passion for healthcare and want to become a paramedic, however I also want to be a nail technician and start my own business. I enjoy nails and the idea of working for myself and growing a business that will allow me more money and freedom.
Here’s my options I’ve come up with:
- complete my diploma and go to uni in September 2024 whist building a business on the side
- complete my diploma whilst starting my business and hold off uni til 2025 / depending on success of the business
- don’t complete the diploma at all and put 100% into creating a successful business
So I’m really stuck with what to do?!
I know some people will be skeptical about a nail business but I’m really driven, I’m going to work with businesses and brands and learn everything I can for it to be a success, but there’s still a doubt of what if it doesnt work or be as successful as I want it to be / but what if it does, and then I’ve wasted time and money with the Diploma and uni?
I was thinking I could do both, but if I’m earning more than my paramedic salary from my business, would I still want to continue doing it?
I know it is something I am going to have to decide for myself, but I just want other peoples opinions or someone from a business background who can see a different perspective
Do I risk it all, or play it safe?
