interesting thought
i have been lobbying the cosmetology board in pa to approve nail tech teachers license. they have cosmetology teachers license but for whatever reason no nail tech teachers license, so in order to teach nails one must undergo all the cosmetology classes (hair skin nails) for a year, then take an additional year to get teacher's license. in beauty school so little focus is put on nails that a tech basically learns to pass state board tests and that is it. so when hiring someone out of school i basically apprentice them 6 months before allowing them to do clients, this is time consuming and expensive. so i get my board update today and FINALLY they have approved nail teachers license. i called the local beauty school, to try to get in. they don't have them yet but hopefully if i keep pushing they will have them soon. then i can apprentice someone the whole way through, and it would count towards school hours, while giving the the knowlege to actually work on clients so when they "graduate" they would be ready to go. the only drawback is i am way over extended w/ my time right now. and burning the candle at both ends and the middle sounds a bit crazy even for me. however knowing this i still am gonna do it.
