Ah teenagers.. everything you do is to 'make my life a misery' or 'just to spite me' and 'doing it on purpose just to get at me'. Bless 'em!

Anyway.. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place there. Your partners degree isnt relevant to being a barber, so you will score no points for it. Either of your experience will count for a lot, providing you have a job offer!

You could go down the business route, but its a long and complicated (not to mention expensive!) route.

Try doing a search on here for posts by lisa m. She is a hairdresser who managed to secure a job, and her residence has just been approved.

Whether or not you up sticks and move here to find a job is up to you. Its what we did and its now paid off, but all depends on your financial situation as to how long you can hold out for a job.
