<p>I researched this school a bit online & this is what I would say to my daughter if she was interested.</p>
<p>Get a certification as a cosmetologist, not just a makeup artist because then you have a better chance at finding a job.</p>
<p>The women who do makeup in dept stores- often have very minimal training- but that sort of thing is a good way to get experience.</p>
<p>If you are really interested- work with a local theatre company as a volunteer to do their makeup to see if you are good & if you like it.</p>
<p>A school which apparently is extremely expensive yet seems to only use their own products which they then sell to the students, instead of teaching students to analyze & compare other products makes me wary.
( Additionally- 4 months does not seem enough time to go into anatomy- chemistry- indepth color selection- etc- if you are looking for a good background- then get a * good* background)</p>
<p>The financial aid that is available- I daresay means unsubsidized loans- because Stafford & even Pell Grants are not going to cover the bulk of tuition for a 4 month program.</p>
<p>I understand that you are quitting school anyway for the present-I would advise you to finish the year, then look for a job that is more to your interests while you research changing schools a little more.</p>
