"Career Cruising." Career Details for Esthetician. Web. 5 Apr 2010.


I chose this source because it has a lot of helpful tips on becoming an esthetician. The website lists the career outlooks, salary, education and even the working conditions. It also has interviews with two different estheticians asking them their likes and dislikes about the career. I like that this website also includes photos of the work environment. It’s one of the few sites that covers a good amount of information about being an esthetician. I’m planning on including most of this information is my essay, plus some.

"Esthetician Career Guide." Spa and Beauty Education. n.d. Web. 7 Apr 2010.


The site goes over more about education and tuition cost. It covers the two different licensing you can get and how many hours it will take to get them. The source goes over the different skin treatments a person would have to study whether he/she is a basic esthetician or a master. I like that this website is fully based on spa and beauty. I plan on also becoming a massage therapist, so this is site is useful in finding more out about that. This is a good site to use because it has two sources listed at the bottom, which means that it’s a creditable site.

"Skin Care Specialist." N.p., 27 jul 2009. Web. 7 Apr 2010.


I like this source because it tells a lot about the skills that you should have to do this career. It also shows the job outlooks for California, which is where I eventually end up living. I like the face that it was just recently updated in 2009 so it is up to date. I want to learn as much as I can about this career so that I’ll be good at it and be able to perform maximum customer satisfaction. This source talks about benefits, something I didn’t see at the other sites. It talks a little about where the job can lead, such as working as a makeup artist or furthering your career in the medical field.
