      Bob and Susan are also committed to a longer term goal for the school: to offer Advanced Education classes to multiple audiences -- graduates of Salon Success, graduates of other beauty schools, and the salon professional who wants to brush up on new techniques.

      The U.S. job scene is constantly changing. Increasingly, bachelor’s degree holders are discovering it hard to locate work mainly because companies continue to send professional jobs “offshore.” Secondly, as the majority of high school teachers push students to go to college, there’s an decreasing supply of skilled worke....(Continued)
