Or, to read only the portion specific to Cosmetology, see below:
Last year, in its' yearly publication of top career choices, U.S. News and World Report featured only careers that require a Bachelor's Degree, as the majority of their readers are college educated. However, times have changed as more and more traditional college graduates are finding fewer and fewer employment opportunities as employers continue the practice of "off-shoring" professional jobs that typically require a 4 year college degree.
Also, with society telling high-school graduates that college is the way, there is an increasing shortage of people skilled in job fields that do not typically require a 4 year college degree.
U.S. News choose 4 career fields and stated that: "these fields would be rewarding to everyone, even to many college graduates...".
The field of Cosmetology was selected as one of these four. In other words, even college grads should consider skilled-trade careers, such as Cosmetology.
The criteria used to choose the "Top 4 Careers" included:
1 - Job satisfaction,
2 - Training difficulty,
3 - Prestige,
4 - Job market outlook, and
5 - Pay (according to the I.R.S, a licensed stylist earns the same as a 4 year college graduate).
