To become a master, you don’t need to have artistic skills at all - just the ability to apply makeup and have taste. And then the only thing left to do is study at school and pass the state exam, which is not at all difficult even for a person who does not speak English very well.

The profession is really promising, because women will never cease to want to be beautiful, and perfectly traced eyebrows or beautifully outlined full lips will always be in fashion.

“Permanent makeup artist is still a very rare profession. Good specialists are always welcome in salons and spas, and those who work for themselves can always find clients. The money in this area is very good - procedures, depending on the state and city, cost from $350 for eyebrows and up to $1200 for breast areola restoration. And you can get this money in just a few hours of your work. What’s not a dream job?” smiles Anna Ishutina, founder of the first Russian-language school in the United States for permanent makeup artists. TIAN Permanent Makeup Studio.

The program includes: studying medicine, coloring, makeup, hand placement, practicing techniques on latex and on models. Training is conducted in small groups of up to 4 people - this approach allows teachers to pay sufficient attention to each person.

Having mastered the basics of applying permanent makeup to the face, you can slowly move on to more complex procedures, such as restoring the nipple areola for women who have undergone a mastectomy, or trichopigmentation - imitation of hair follicles.

“You shouldn’t think that, having become a permanent makeup master, you will certainly lock yourself in your office and do the same thing every day. Career growth is possible in the field of permanent makeup - you can find salons or SPA with favorable conditions for you, or you can open your own office. When you become a recognizable artist, you will begin to be invited to congresses and conferences, and after that some company working in the field of permanent makeup may well make you the face of their brand. You can also fly around the world and teach master classes,” Anna Ishutina describes the prospects of the profession.

Classes are held on weekdays or weekends: flexible hours depend on the wishes of the students. Concord Rusam teachers are fluent in both English and Russian, so they can explain the most difficult materials and answer additional questions in Russian; thus, the language barrier does not become an obstacle to obtaining a new specialty.

“Finding a job is not at all difficult, because pharmacist assistants are needed in many places: in pharmacies and pharmaceutical departments located in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes,” says Zhanna.

Commercial pilot

Flying airplanes into the sky is the childhood dream of many men. In the United States, it is relatively easy to fulfill this dream, because to obtain a profession you do not need to study for 4 years in college.

All you need is to find a school and have a certain amount to pay for the course. And, of course, you really want to fly, fly and fly again.

It takes six months to complete the course (depending on availability) and a lot of patience, because to successfully find a job you will need to obtain several certificates and licenses - a commercial pilot certificate, a first or second class medical certificate, an instrument certificate and a multi-engine certificate. Although all this sounds scary, in fact it is only a matter of time and budget, because flight hours are usually not cheap.

To get a certificate of a commercial pilot, you need to complete a ground training course and fly at least 250 hours with the obligatory fulfillment of certain conditions and maneuvers. This is followed by a theoretical ground preparation exam and an exam flight with a representative of the FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration).

Existing commercial airline pilots are required to have a first or second class medical certificate, which must be confirmed throughout their careers. Commercial airline pilots pass a medical commission once a year.

Given that commercial pilots earn around 69 thousands per year, all training costs pay for themselves fairly quickly.
