Logic dictates that in order to move up the ladder of success, you need to educate yourself on a continual basis. Whether you’re a dentist, doctor, insurance agent or stylist, you are required to undergo continuing education. This keeps your skills razor sharp. Choosing a field that demands that you keep your skills honed is a wise decision. You also want to choose a career which is recession-proof. The Beauty Industry is one of those fields. It goes without saying that everyone needs regular maintenance on their hair. In the U.S. alone, the hair industry generated 56.2 billion dollars in 2015. Esthetics (skin care) will likely realize an approximate 11 billion dollars in revenue by 2018. Even if you have graduated from a four-year college, the likelihood that you will have a job in your major is not a guarantee. Only 27 percent of these graduates are currently working in their field of choice. Many graduates of these four-year programs are now supplementing their education and earnings by getting a cosmetology license. Whether it’s training for hair, nails, make-up or skin care, these industrious young people know that they can make good extra money by having additional skills. In fact, you’re never too ‘old’ to acquire a new career skill. Age doesn’t matter. Go back to school. If you’re not happy in your current job- go back to school. You can be a hairstylist in a year. You can be an esthetician in six months. You can be a nail artist in three months. A professional make-up artist in weeks. It doesn’t have to be your ‘lifetime’ career. These are all fabulous skills to possess and utilize. The Beauty Industry is full of endless excitement and new trends! Lots of social interaction that’s never boring. Choose the John Amico School of Hair Design and be fabulous!
