First of all, introductions should be in order. It's only polite. My name is Johnny Carmichael, if you couldn't already tell from the title. I am in my late 20's now, so this will start out as a bit of a memoir of how my adult life and career started. I am 6', in average shape, with platinum blonde hair, and blue eyes. If I did not have my boyish looks in my younger years, I doubt I would have developed the reputation I have today. They are starting to fade in my current years. Don't get me wrong, I don't look old by any means. I simply look more adult.
I graduated high school lost, like most in my class, as to what I wanted to do in life. I did not apply to any colleges as my grades clearly would not have made the cut. So off to junior college I went. After speaking with a career counselor, I signed up for general education classes until I could figure out what I wanted to do. One of the things I noticed my first year was the cosmetology building. Every time the students came out for a break I noticed they were 95% women, and very pretty ones at that. The 5%, at best, of the men sent my gay radar on fire. They clearly weren't manly men, even if they were straight. It didn't occur to me until my sophomore year to look into it myself. I looked up the career counselor I originally spoke with my freshman year and took a Myers-Briggs personality test. Sure enough cosmetology showed up as a career fitting my personality. I thought I hit the jackpot. I could not have been more correct.
Ironically, I got a haircut the weekend before classes started. Hey, I didn't know anybody yet to cut it and surely didn't have a clue myself. I did skip the barber and went to an actual hairstylist. She didn't think I was the type to go to a stylist, however, and asked why I was doing such of thing. Checkmate. I told her my story, leaving out my true intentions, and she was very encouraging, of course. She asked why I chose cosmetology. I had to think quick. I told her of the Myers-Briggs test I took. I had found my out. She still seemed a little suspicious of my reason but gratefully didn't pursue the matter further. She did an amazing job. I looked in the mirror and thought I needed to get a Dapper Dan equivalent pronto. She was very cute herself and was, therefore, easily able to talk me into buying some. There were multiple girls who gave me a second look as I went about my business that day before it ended.
