You don't think it has more to do with the fact that most men have little interest in womens' makeup?
I find it hard to believe there are many men out there who'd really like to be cosmetologists but are afraid of being seen as gay. But if you're out there, feel free to reply!
- dgabriel 17y agoThey're probably on cosmetology message boards, not HN.
- hugh3 17y agoI like the idea that the cosmetology boards are filled with male programmers who really wanted to be cosmetologists, and HN is filled with female cosmetologits who really wanted to be programmers.
- whyenot 17y agoCosmetology is a pretty broad term it doesn't just cover "women's makeup." Cosmetologists also do hairstyling, mani/pedicure, and electrolysis for example. You can have flexible hours, instead of working in a cube staring at a screen,you spend your days talking to people and making them look good, you don't need to go to school very long to get your license, and while the wages aren't all that great, if you do a good job and build up a loyal clientele, you can do alright for yourself. Do you honestly believe there aren't some men, even straight men, who wouldn't be interested in a career like that?
