One of the things I regret not having access to while growing up is learning some vocational skill.
Well, I wouldn't blame them, every parents has a way of letting their daughters live their ‘soft princess life'😅; and in their defense, heading to workshop right after school might make me lose concentration.
They wouldn't want me to be on losing ends t both sides.
That's quite understandable.
But the world we live in now is beyond education alone; especially if you would be studying a course which is not professional later in high institution.
Even if youd be getting a degree for a professional course, vocational skill would help a lot.
Additionally, the world we live in now is beyond ‘ending up only in the kitchen later on’
If it had clicked in me, I could have persuaded then to let me during the breaks or holidays.
Afterall, the earlier, the better.
Having knowledge and skills in baking, crocheting, catering, events decor, hairstyling, fashion designing, sewing, photography, instrumentals and the likes not only support you financially. It also gives one a sense of independence.
It goes a long way and makes you proud of yourself. Having not just one source of income shouldn't be a bad thing 💅.
The more the gigs, the more the cash.
