Are My Parents Allowed To Use My Cosmetology License To Run Their Business?

Card image cap

Hi, I’m 16 (a junior) and I’m currently going to vo-tech, cosmetology to get my license.

Location: New Jersey

My parents encouraged me during my sophomore year to do vo-tech to get a cosmetology license. The reason they want me to get a license is because they currently don’t own a license to run their nail salon. They are “renting” it (as I’ve been told) off of this woman, and they have to pay a lot every year just to use her license. They say that once I get my license, they don’t have to pay to use the lady’s license anymore. But the thing is, I don’t plan on running the nail salon after I graduate high school, I wanna go to college first. Also, I’m not really all that passionate about doing hair and nails, I mean, I don’t mind doing it and learning new things, I’d much rather do hair during the day than school work. But, if I do in fact do hair or nails at some point (if I even do it at all) it would be way later in life, like in my 30s or 40s.

What should I do once I get my license? I still want to support my parents and their business, but I also want to pursue my own interests and career.
