persuasion paragraph

If I could change one thing at work, it would be that we could focus more on the quality and the love of Hairdressing and less on quantity of clients and money. Of course this would be in a Utopian environment but it would still be great as an artist to experience change. I have been a hairdresser for 10 years and I have been around the industry since I was old enough to remember. Most of the time, but not all, an employee’s performance is rated on how much money they are bringing in. For me there is another alternative to make the 40-50 hour work week more enjoyable. For instance, I always create my best work when I am doing it for free. Whether I am doing it for inner-city kids who really need haircuts, Battered women's homes, or local fashions shows to create excitement, I am doing it because I love cutting hair and not because I am trying to get to get paid. I ask hairdressers all the time why did they decide to do hair. Most of them say they are artistically inclined and they can express themselves, or because they love hair, fashion, music and these industry are all cousins of each other. The funny thing is that you can make loads of money in this industry, but it shouldn’t be the focal point. I believe the money will come if you keep the real reason of why you became a hairdresser in front of you.
