Should I pursue my nail tech license?

I’m including a few photos of my own nails. I’ve been doing them for about a year now, and over time I have enjoyed getting more complicated and trying new materials. I clearly struggle in the cuticle area and these sets took an embarrassing amount of time and effort. Like, 6-8 hours.

I’ve had great retention with builder gel nails. I’ve tried acrygel several times and can’t seem to crack the code to keep them from lifting way too soon; and I find it discouraging.

I’m loving the idea of getting licensed and having my own business, because simply the thought of a corporate 9-5 job makes me…. ill. I would love any feedback or advice.
