Advice for going to NY make-up school-my parents wont help!

<p>If I were your parent, I would definitely NOT want you to slam the door by at least completing the term that has already been paid for and is currently in progress. I would NOT fund anything unless you completed that and nothing you have written so far would convince me otherwise.</p>

<p>It is very irresponsible to want to drop out of school after the term begins to run off & start a new venture. What marketable skills will you be using to support yourself while you attend this school and after you get your certificate? What is an “average” income for folks who have a certificate, such as the one you purpose to pursue? What will you live on to supplement your income? The weddings I’ve participated in, while we do pay a significant amount to the makeup folks who are hired (when we bother to hire any) have full-time other jobs (mostly working in beauty salons) to earn a living.</p>

<p>What steps have you taken to determine that a certificate from MUD will open doors you feel will be helpful to you, to the exclusion of other schools/training programs? Why the sudden urgency? Are you failing your current courses? If so, why should more money and resources be expended on a wholly new venture for you? If not, why not complete the current term, so you can at least not waste the tuition that has already been paid on your behalf? Any decent school/program should still exist and be able to take you at a time AFTER you have completed your current term at your current school, which you must have had some say in choosing.</p>
