[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a CPA for 12 years and it was fine.  Good money, decent hours, and nice people.  But it was BORING!  So 3 years ago when my kids started to get really into sports (IE: they were gone in the evenings anyway) I went to cosmetology school at night 3 evenings a week.  After I completed my certification I started working at a salon on Tuesday evenings and Saturdays to get my feet wet.  This past November I finally took the jump and quit my CPA job and am now full time at the salon.  I love it.  Ive lost 10 pounds (goodbye desk job), I love getting to know people, the day literally flies by, and its stimulating and creative. The only negative thing is I gave up great benefits and DH's aren't as cushy.  But beyond that its been amazing. [/quote]

Congrats to you! I love to read of people who've been brave enough to make a change -- it's not an easy thing to do.
