How do I balance a Marketing degree at a four-year university while also pursuing a tattoo apprenticeship and assisting at a salon I am worried about the cost of student housing in Sacramento and want to know how professionals managed high intensity side hustles during college.?

I’m a first-gen student and licensed cosmetologist transferring to Sacramento State. My mission is to open my own beauty or tattoo studio, and I’m using my Marketing degree to build that dream. I’m nervous about balancing full-time classes and housing costs with a hands-on apprenticeship or salon job. How do I stay financially stable without burning out? I want to make myself proud and bridge the gap between business school and my creative passions.
