...to a university? I'm a high school junior looking into entering cosmetology school (along with still attending high school). In Ohio you just have to be at least 16 and have completed the 10th grade to enter cosmetology school. I have done both. I want to go to cosmetology school and work as a hairdresser to pay my way through college. Will going to cosmetology school now hurt my chances of getting scholoarships to a university? thanks!
