College of Esthetics

   Thinking of going to college for esthetics? Should you go to a college of esthetics (trade schools/private schools) or should you go to the local community college that offers esthetics? It is a personal choice, but when making your decision think about the costs involved for schooling vs. how much you think you will make in esthetics per year. Schools these days operate as big business; a lot of these beauty schools or vocational schools only care about the bottom line. They will sign you up for a student loan as fast as you can sign on the dotted line in an effort to reel you in, but they won't give a hoot that you can't possibly make the loan payments after graduation. You need to stop here and think. Do you want to be in debt after esthetics school? Or would you rather go to a community college and take the courses and save a lot of money? It depends on what you are looking for and what you can and can't afford. There are some beautiful esthetics schools that offer all the bells and whistles, but at the end of the program those students might have spent a pretty penny while community college students spent a fraction of the cost, and they both come out with the same esthetics license. Think about how much money you want to spend!
