Not everyone like to work with people and that is ok. Everyone is different like for me I would like a job around others. As for the school and terminolgy there are tutors who could help you and to me if you try it is not a failure because at least you took a chance. I am not a school person and with my current condition my mind concentration is shot but still hope to take a class oneday. Could you start slow like with one class to see how you do? Before my health conditions I took nail tech course. It was 3 months full days five days a week. Then you take a state board to get license. I never did nails and now could never do a pedicure but vocational schools for similar or this can really give a rewarding career.
