When I found out that another 8 hours of continuing "education" was required for me to renew my esthetician license, I figured that it was yet another money-making scam created by the cosmetology board.

It's taking a very long time to complete and a lot of the material is for nail techs, but I'm actually learning some stuff that is very important. I'm reluctant to return to the nail salon now that I've been reminded of proper sterilization techniques. Update: I completed the 8 hour course and my license was updated in just about two days.
