Sifa ya Kustahili
Cosmetology licence
About 125,000 people a year finish a cosmetology programme and borrow to do it. The work it leads to pays less than the typical American job, which means the cost is never recovered from a pay premium — because there isn't one.
Gharama ya kupata nusu ya safu hiyo ni ile ya katikati.
Hakuna hata urefu wa mazoezi mmoja ▶ yawekwa na serikali.
Kazi hiyo hailipii gharama yoyote kwa kazi ya kawaida ya Marekani, kwa hiyo hakuna chochote cha gharama ya kurudishwa.
Mahali ambapo tarakimu iliyo juu haingeweza kuthibitishwa hatuchapishi hata kidogo.

Gharama hiyo ni nini, na kile ambacho si kitu
The federal programme code, CIP 12.04, covers cosmetology together with related grooming programmes such as nail technology and esthetics, so the range is not cosmetology alone. That range is median cumulative FEDERAL LOAN DEBT at completion, not a tuition sticker price and not total cost. It is what completers actually borrowed, so it excludes grants, savings, family money, employer funding and living costs — which makes it a FLOOR on what the credential costs, never a ceiling. The low and high figures are the 25th and 75th percentiles across the institutions that report a figure for this programme, so a quarter of institutions sit below the low end. College Scorecard pools two award years into each figure; the release used here is dated 10 June 2026.
Every state sets its own training-hour requirement and they range from roughly 1,000 to 2,100 hours — nine months to over a year full time. There is no national figure, and we will not average fifty different rules into one that no state actually uses.
Licences renew every one to two years, with a fee in every state.
Ni watu wangapi walio na maoni hayo, na ni wangapi wanaofanya kazi shambani
Hatungeweza kumwezesha mtu huyo asiingie
Kwa baadhi ya taarifa zinazotoa muhtasari wa mwili huo zinachapisha hesabu ya kila mtu anayeushikilia, na mahali ambapo tunachapisha idadi hiyo kando ya idadi ya watu wanaofanya kazi. Hakuna hesabu kama hiyo iliyopo kwa ajili ya habari hii ambayo tunaweza kuthibitisha, kwa hiyo ukurasa huu unaonyesha hakuna yoyote.
There is no national count of licensed cosmetologists. Licensing is run by fifty separate state boards, no federal agency aggregates them, and the one industry body that collects licence records sells them and mixes US and Canadian data. So this page shows no denominator. We looked; it is not there.
Kilichowapata watu waliomaliza mazoezi hayo
Miaka minne baada ya kukamilisha programu ya kompyuta ya ▶, si kwa ajili ya kazi hii pekee
ya 109,085 Ambao walifanya kazi kwa bidii. Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma Wala hawakuwa wenye kughafilika na yale ya baadaye. 16,760 Na lau kuwa si fadhila juu yake mngeli kusanya watu, 15.4%. Wale waliokuwa wakifanya kazi walipata umaarufu $26,307, Na baina ya makundi mawili hayo patakuwa pa katikati. $13,783 na $41,270.
faida za kupata kazi zote, Bradton, si kazi ya kuajiriwa ya 1725. Hatua ni kukosekana kwa rekodi yoyote ya mshahara na mapato yoyote chanya ya kazi ya mwaka mzima. Hakuna aliyeulizwa kama wanataka kazi, kwa hiyo idadi inashikilia watu walioacha kazi kwa kuchagua kulea watoto, kutunza, kusafiri, kuishi kwa mapato ya mtu mwingine, kuhamia nchi nyingine pamoja na kila mtu aliyetaka kazi na ambao hawana. Hakuna mtu anayetangaza kujigawanya na hatutakisia. Ni kwa namna gani watu wengi walikuwa wamemaliza mazoezi haya na hawakuchuma chochote kutoka kwa miaka minne au kitu chochote kile chochote, ambacho huwezi kusema juu ya kiasi kilicho juu ya juu.
Na tarakimu hiyo haihusu kazi hii moja kwa moja. Serikali ya serikali huchapisha matokeo ya programu hiyo kwa kiwango cha nne cha uungwaji mkono na siyo kwa ubora, na programu hizo za msingi zinaweka sheria zake pamoja na wengine.
Kile ambacho mfumo huo wa programu hufunika: CIP 12.04 is cosmetology together with barbering, nail technology, esthetics and related grooming programmes. They lead to different state licences and somewhat different pay, and the Department publishes no split. What they have in common is the thing this row shows: they are the largest sub-degree programme in the country by completions, and they have the worst four-year outcome of any programme on this page.
This is the worst outcome of any programme we can publish, on the largest sub-degree cohort in the country. Set it beside the cost above: people are borrowing for it.
Ambao wanapanda nyoyoni. Wauzaji wa vitabu waliopokea misaada ya wanafunzi wa serikali sio safu. Idara inadhibiti taasisi zenye ni ndogo sana kuweza kuchapisha na kuongeza kelele za takwimu kwa wale wengine, kwa hiyo hii ni kiasi cha fedha juu ya taasisi kubwa kiasi cha kutaarifu: 788 Katika hao, wanazidisha idadi. 81.8% ya Idara hiyo yenyewe. Kupunguza programu ndogo zaidi za kuripoti hufanya kiwango hicho kiongezeke kwa 0.1 Asilimia yataja.

Kile unachoruhusu ufanye
Malipo ni ya kazi, si ya matajiri, bali ni kazi unazostahili kufanya.

Je, inajilipia?
Kazi hii hailipii zaidi ya kazi ya kawaida ya Marekani mara tu kila mara kazi inapowekewa mzigo wa watu wengi walio ndani yake. Hakuna malipo, kwa hiyo hakuna haja ya kupata tena.
Unachohitaji kabla ya kuanza
- A place at a state-approved cosmetology school
- The state training-hour requirement, which varies widely
Msipo fanya hivi itakuwako fitna katika nchi,
- you are borrowing to pay for it — the work it leads to pays below the typical US job, so the debt has no pay premium to come out of
- you cannot stand for most of a working day
- you are counting on salon employment — much of this work is booth rental, which is self-employment with none of the guarantees
