Hi everyone
I'm in a dilemma.. With registration for school in about a month I am totally stumped as with what to do. I am really interested in the esthetician course and the nail tech course equally. The esthetician class is in Texas and is 750 hours and includes the study of skincare, facials, makeup application, waxing, microdermabrasion, and chemical peel. The nail tech class is 600 hours and includes tips, overlays, wraps, and sculptured nails.... Ok with that being said I am really just worried about finding a job once finished with school. I will be trying to seek out work in a fairly smaller town around 40,000 were there area alot of salons, one medical spa, one permant makeup type place, and a ton of nail salons.... although I have 2 larger cities 100,000 + (shreveport LA, and alexandria La) about an hour away from me in either direction. Ok. I have also went out and asked individuals in the beauty industry and have had mixed reviews in which has confused me even further. I am 30 years old and I am sick of working minimum wage jobs where my co workers are like 16 years old, I am beginning to feel like a loser honestly. I have always loved fashion and beauty and I have more clothes and makeup then the law should allow, and I think either of these professions would be right up my ally. It just really comes down to money and finding a job. What are the pros and cons and the reality of the the skin care and nail tech world. (I will also be listing this thread in the nail geek forum to hear the different opinions) Also another important issue has come up is the school I will be attending in the process of seeking accredidation (they recently moved?!?) will this factor in if they don't get the accredidation there seeking?(Texas career Institute, in silsbee Tx) Also I will be getting my license in Tx but live in Louisiana, is it hard to transfer your license over? If you were me what would you do? I'm so confused.... ahhh ok enough of me blabbing. I want to thank you ladies for reading this and taking the time to resond...
