Get Your G.E.D. Before, After or While Attending Beauty School

Published: June 11, 2008

My last post congratulated new high school graduates, but some of you who are considering cosmetology school are not

really interested in completing high school. That may be okay where you live, since many states require only two years of high school, or not even that, before you can become a licensed cosmetologist after attending beauty school. You can check your state’s requirements right here on BeautySchoolAdvisor’s state listings.

I can understand if you’d rather get started on your career in beauty than sit through an algebra class. Especially if you left high school a while ago, it’s not easy to wrap your head around those courses anymore. Enrolling in a hands-on hair, esthetics or make-up program can reignite your learning spark, because you’ll be studying something that you find kind of fun. So at some point you may feel ready to revisit the high school issue.

Whether you do it now or wait until you have your career underway, I encourage you to get your G.E.D., which you can even do online. There’s a level of self-respect that comes with being a high school graduate, and the knowledge you gain is useful in carrying on conversations with your clients. Also, you don’t know what the future holds after beauty school. Someday you may apply to be a salon manager or educator, and that position may require a high school education. Lots of websites can help you; I found passged.com to be comprehensive and helpful. Think about it.
