Why Choose a Career in Esthetics?
Security.
Services offered by Estheticians cannot be sold on the internet or outsourced.
US News & World Report had this to say in a recent
article about best careers for a changing job landscape: “Meanwhile, society has been telling high school students
that college is the way, so there's an accelerating shortage of
skilled people in jobs that don't require college. (Why else do
you think you have to pay $100 an hour for a plumber?) “The four non-college careers we added would be rewarding
even to many college graduates, especially because college grads
are likely to stand out against the competition. Those added
careers are: biomedical equipment technician, firefighter,
hairstylist/cosmetologist (hair, nails, skin), and
locksmith/security system technician.”
Growth.
According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics,
skin care specialist and make-up artists are 2 of the “top 30
growing jobs” for the coming years.
Within
the United States alone, in next ten years 20 million baby
boomer women will experience menopause and in their search for
anti-aging treatments, turn their attention to the skin care
market.
Thanks to baby boomers, the sale of anti aging skin is booming
despite the bad economy. According to a report in
Consumer Affairs.com, during 2008, sales of anti-aging skincare
products rose to over $1.6 billion. Experts agree that baby
boomer’s wish to remain as young looking as possible for as long
as possible will drive this growth 20% through 2013.
The market for anti-aging skincare has experienced
robust growth during 2003-08, according to the Mintel Report.
Anti-aging products have been driving sales in the facial
skincare market overall.
Independence.
