Cosmetologist to Microbiologist
EPISODE: 004
Where once it was the norm to hold down the same job for 30 years before retiring – now more and more people are changing jobs and careers.
Take Marie Settle as an example. Marie started out as a cosmetologist styling hair and providing skin care in the 1980s. She worked at an exclusive spa in California called the Golden Door. Guests at the “Door” now pay over $8,000 a week for room, food, exercise, beauty and massage. Working there led Marie on a career path she could have never imagined. She tells us how she went from doing facials – to working in a lab making skin grafts for burn patients.
I’ve known Marie since beauty school and we became lifelong friends working side-by side on the rich and famous at the Golden Door. Here’s our conversation about our time working At the Door and how she went from being a cosmetologist – to microbiologist.
