How do I know if cosmetology is the right career path for me?
Q. Cosmetology seems like itd be a fun job. I like the atmosphere of salons, but im not quite sure if its the right job for me. Anyone who knows about what the job is like?
Asked by Gabrielle M - Sat Sep 20 20:11:22 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It might be fun while you are young, but not when you get older. You have to work long hours to make any money at it and if you are trying to make a living it will be hard.You can't count on tips. Think about standing on your feet for hours on end and unhappy customers that no matter what you can't please. If you really want to do it, go for it. Just look into something else to fall back on as well. Take some kind of aptitude test to find out what all you may be good at. Good Luck!

Q. I am getting ready to go to school for cosmetology I have the option of getting the degree or the license. Of course the degree is more work but would it really benefit me anymore?

A. Degree -- means you completed schooling and finished successfully (grades, ect. ect.) Licensed -- means you finished school and took your state board exam = which then means you can practice your skills in a salon and make a living off it! =)
