Our educational system and government continue to have us think that without a college degree it’s nearly impossible to achieve success in the workforce. But the truth is that college is not for everyone and it’s not a good idea to leave out the millions of young adults who attended a vocational school. These adults have training in professions that are just as relevant as those which require a degree, and we should praise and encourage them. While college has benefits, vocational training is also important in workforce preparation. Here are some good careers for those who attended vocational school.
Cosmetologist
A cosmetologist is someone who specializes in hairstylist and barbering and you can start your own business in this field as you gain a steady stream of clients over the years. To become a cosmetologist you’ll have to attend an accredited cosmetology school and receive a license from your state. Once you do this you’re able to find work at a beauty salon. To stay relevant, keep up with the latest trends in the beauty industry by attending hair shows and networking with other cosmetologists through social media.
