  4. Closely related to the point above, cosmetology provides a lot of opportunity to build your own business and become your own boss. Some great ways to do this is to open a salon, start a new location for an existing chain of salons, or buy a salon from an owner that is ready to retire. Whichever you choose, if you decide to open up your own shop, big or small, it can be very exciting and rewarding.
