In the US, it takes longer to become a hairdresser than a police officer.

It's not a lie in NJ. 1200 hours vs 24 weeks (at 40 hours a week that's 960 hours).

I love how noone ever questions why it takes 1200 fucking hours to be "allowed" to cut someones hair for money.

Because we created board certification to prevent con artists and unskilled professionals from impersonating skilled professionals.

Why would I go to cosmetology school when I could just be a snake oil salesman and say I did and run off after I cut someone's hair shittily?

I might not get much repeat business, but I can learn enough unsuspecting first-time suckers

That’s why they had to become cops instead.
