A client's dad told me barbering was just a job, not a career, and it got me thinking

He was in my chair last Friday and said his son should focus on 'real work' instead of cutting hair. He called it a side hustle you can't build a future on. I've been doing this for eight years and own my own station, so that hit different. Do you think there's still a big gap between seeing this as a trade versus just a temporary gig?

That guy's view is pretty outdated. A solid trade like barbering can absolutely be a real career.

My uncle's barber in Chicago retired with three houses, which proves @skyler217's point.

Yeah, and it's a skill you can take anywhere.
