As a first-GEN, Vietnamese American Refugee, voting is a great privilege that I am proud of! Don't let the thought that "my vote won't matter" stand in the way of your freedom. You are free to choose; you are free to decide; and you are also free to create the life of your dream through entrepreneurship!
I've worked without a license for quite some time--during high school and college. When I became a mother and had to take care of a family five, being reliant on someone else's license became inadequate! That was when I decided to get my license and opened One Stop Salon Chicago.
Getting a license will allow you to work as an independent contractor, protect you from liabilities, open doors to entrepreneurship and opportunities to make a lot more money!
