<prompt> Human: Im 23, with a toddler, a new born, and my wife who stays home to take care of the kids. We live off my 10 per hour income, usually i work more than 40 hours per week. We barely get by, but we get by non the less. We literally cant afford to save any money. Ive been looking to become a barber for years now but just havent had the means to pay for it. The barber collegeSouthern Arizona Barber College i want to attend doesnt offer any financial aide and only accepts full time students. Ive talked to various barbers around the state and they say its one of the best in Arizona. Even if i were able to pay the tuition of 9500, i would not be able to work due to the school being exactly like a full time job. Therefore we would have no income for at least 10 months until i completed the course. I dont know whether taking out a loan is a logical idea. Do i save a good portion of tax returns every year for a few years until i have enough? Im at a loss for ideas.  <response>: My sister went to school to cut hair. Graduated 2014, got her license2015...and she is working as an advisor for a school. Why? Pay sucks. The position she is in right now pays 16hr without any formal education required. I would seriously look around for another job, and forget barber school.
