Weather the Recession in the Climate of Cosmetology School

Published: November 30, 2008

Schools and colleges tend to prosper when unemployment is high. The thinking is that as long as you can’t find work, you might as well bide your time by getting a degree or certification. So if you are having trouble landing a well-payi

ng job, this is the perfect year to try cosmetology school. But following the crowd is not why I think the timing is good. Rather, I’ve been doing a little research and want to expand upon my previous blog post about becoming a professional cosmetologist even though consumers are spending less.

It seems that I’m not the only one promoting cosmetology as a great career choice during a tough economy. At hrworld.com, “beauty, health and erotic services” is listed among the top 25 careers that do well during hard times. This entry says, “Regardless of a recession, people who enjoy being pampered will seldom give up the simple pleasures in life.” And, yes, we’ll just skip over the “erotic services” part; better to stick with beauty! Over at ezinearticles.com, an item called “Top Careers to Pursue and Refrain From During a Recession” has this listing under the “pursue” category: “Beauty $30,000+. Presentation has always been and will continue to be important to an individual and required by their boss. Examples include: Hairdressers and Barbers.”

There’s still another reason that this is an ideal time to enroll in cosmetology school, which I’ll reveal in my next blog post. Can’t wait to tell you, because you’ll love it!
