We find this very ironic, considering that employment for beauty and personal appearance workers is expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics. The BLS estimates that our field will grow by 20 percent from 2008 to 2018. Esthetics and skin care specialists are expected to see a whopping 38 percent growth in employment opportunities in coming years.
And to imply that cosmetology professionals are stupid because they opt to go into the beauty trade is just plain offensive. But as offensive as it is, it’s typical of the unfounded judgment passed on the beauty business. You call us stupid? I call us “employed.” I call us “business owners.” About 44 percent of workers in this industry are self-employed and work flexible schedules. Our hard-earned tax dollars help keep this economy going. Next time you go to get a haircut or other beauty service, you should thank your lucky stars that your cosmetologist isn’t stupid.
You know what? There IS always beauty school. When your other temporary, passing career doesn’t work out, you can always change your life completely by going to a beauty school and better equipping yourself for a stable and fulfilling career. Job prospects look great for licensed personal appearance workers just entering the field after beauty school.
Some people may think the cosmetology business is a joke, or just a hobby. But to us, this is a lifelong career we’re passionate about. So you can laugh all day long about this poster that’s supposed to be a funny jab at people in the beauty trade, but we’ll be laughing all the way to the bank with our steady paychecks.

Well, a lot of beauty schools these days are good but I cannot say that their students are stupid. The fact that most successful cosmetologists these days are from these beauty schools too. Cosmetology license courses are offered well, trainings, etc.
