Your Friends Are Going Off To College – What Are You Doing?

Your final year of high school has ended, and with the last few weeks of summer, you’re deciding what the future holds. For most of your friends and classmates choosing to go to college was an easy answer – but for you, transitioning from high school to college immediately, didn’t feel right.

Don’t worry – you’re not alone. There are thousands of people, just like you, who don’t fit into the traditional go-to-college-get-a-job mold. If you’re not sure what’s next, consider attending an esthetician school as a viable option.

Colloquially referred to as beauty school, esthetician school is designed to teach you the ins and outs of:

• Skin care
• Hair removal
• Makeup application
• Facials
• Body treatment, and
• General beauty

In fact, the word esthetician is defined as person who is knowledgeable about the nature and appreciation of beauty, especially in regards to the arts.

Estheticians are often incredibly unique people who think out-of-the-box and don’t fit the standard ‘norm’. Those who are artistic, creative, and enjoy helping people look and feel more beautiful make great estheticians.

Being an esthetician gives you an opportunity to interact with other, like-minded personalities. What’s more, it provides you with a unique and marketable skill set. Finally, being an esthetician is fun – you get to work daily to help other people improve their self-esteem, bodies, and lives. You also get to express your creativity and artistic nature on a day-to-day basis.

Yes – being an esthetician is a viable – and can even be a lucrative – career option. The skin is the body’s largest and fastest growing organ; jobs in esthetics are booming. Becoming an esthetician takes 600 hours (or five to 12 months) of schooling and experience.
