    Default Anyone here a COSMETOLOGIST or AESTHETICIAN?

    I am going back to school to get my AESTHETICIAN license...though I havent fully decided bc i am also considering going to school for court reporting...the court reporing is 2.5 years--starting salary is $45k and aesthetics course is like 1 year--pay varies from $16k--40 and $60k (working for a plastic surgeon or derm)....so was just wondering if anyone here works in any of the fields and how they like it, pay, etc? thnx

    Yes, love it and would not do anything else.

    Pay depends on you. It's kinda like stripping, you make what you put into it. You can work for someone else and make chump change or work for yourself and bank. Or hire people and run your own business. It's great business to be in. You will most likely never be unemployed. You may find slow periods at times and times when you take a job at salon that you don't like, but you will not deal with the lay offs and slow economy bullshit.

    You really have to love what you do though and love your clients. It is hard work, but at the end of the day I'm happy.

    Any questions, just ask.

    I work for myself and I make ALL the money. I have a small spa and a few people who work for me. Let's just say I make more doing that than I ever did dancing.
