License over a traditional degree:
Most high schools push their students into looking into attending a traditional college or university as an institute of higher education.While traditional colleges and universities offer a wide array of degrees that one can choose from, it doesn’t necessarily result in placement for employment. Now, you may be asking yourself- “So, a shorter program means I have a greater chance for meaningful employment?”
Yes and no.
While it’s true that you have the same chance for employment with a shorter-term education program, like one offered in trade schools (ex. a Cosmetology/Esthetics School), you still have a number of advantages by attending a Cosmetology School over attending a traditional degree granting college/university. See the many advantages of gaining a license over a traditional degree:
YOU GET TO EXPRESS YOURSELF
Never felt like traditional school was for you? Maybe it’s because your didn’t get to express your creative side. With cosmetology/esthetics school, you get to train your craft AND express yourself on a number of different canvases daily- you clients, manikins, classmates, etc.
JOB PLACEMENT
