Hairdresser I have always wanted to be a Hairdresser since I could remember. So when I had to chose a career to research it wasn’t very hard to make my decision. The impression that I had is that you don’t make very much money and you always work for someone unless you own your own store.

The average hourly wage starts at $11.95. “The lowest 10 percent earned less than $8.62, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $22.79.” (“Bureau of labor statistics”). Hairdressers may also receive tips from their customers.

But this being said, if I did decide to pursue this career I would want to study abroad or travel with a magazine company. This would give be a better chance of being able to make more money and broaden my skill level and
