Do you like to make people feel good about themselves? Want a fun and creative career?

Then consider a future in the cosmetology industry.

Note that each state has different licensing requirements for beauty-related careers.

A career in cosmetology provides flexible hours and locations and may include work in hair care, skin care, nails and makeup.

Now’s a good time to pursue a cosmetology career—the need for salon professionals is increasing. It’s also a great business if you are entrepreneurial. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics also notes that about 44 percent of workers in the personal appearance industry are self-employed!

Some career ideas (and their average earnings, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics) include:
* Theater makeup artist ($12.63/hour)
* Hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists ($11.13/hour)
