I have a situation and I'd like to get some opinions on it. So here's the deal. I am a graphic designer. I have 2 years in school and let's say about a year and a half experience. I consider myself a good graphic designer, people have always really liked my work at the jobs I've had and I have gained a lot of knowledge in the past couple of years.
I haven't been going to school for the past 6 months because of "x" circumstances. I am supposed to try to get back in asap so I can finish up and get my degree. I still have a long way to go though. 2-3 years being that I am a night student. Well...I had a job as a graphic designer/pre-press technician at a printing company. I worked there 10 months approx. A few days a go I lost that job. So no I have to fgure out a job that I can get with my purple little head and the holes I have poked through my face. It's difficult to get a good job as a graphic designer looking like me.
So, the salon where I get my hair cut is really cool, and is a possibility for work. I can apply to be in the make-up/skincare/manicure etc department or the technical department which is color and perms and stuff. This is a full time job where you have to be available at all times. I can look as crazy as I want to though, and this is something I would enjoy doing. I have always thought of being a make-up artist as my second career choice. But if I get this job I can't go back to school. I have to make the decision to basically change careers and give up on school.
I really don't know what to do. It would be nice to work full time and make full time money. But school....you know? If I go back to school then I have to find a part time job....but what? I am not sure even where to start! The thing is I have to decide ASAP cause I can't stay at home without working for long!!! I need to make some money!!! Help me! What should I do? What do you think?

you shouldn't really worry to much about the future because now is all you really have, the future is nothing but a thought.
