Katie the Cosmetologist

Just two weeks after our post sharing that Lawson Bates had become a pilot, we have another big Bates accomplishment to announce. Katie Bates has officially graduated from cosmetology school! Congratulations, Katie!

In a recent episode of Bringing Up Bates, Katie, who might end up studying nursing like older sister Michael at some point in the future, explained her post-graduation plans: "Originally, I had always wanted to do nursing school. But cosmetology, I actually loved it a lot more than I thought, so I would like to pursue cosmetology for a little bit after graduating and just work in a salon for a little bit and get the feel for it. And I would still love to do nursing school, but for now I’m focusing on the cosmetology."
