Good Morning everyone,
My wife has a chance to go back to school to be a paramedical esthetician, so I was wondering if there was a need for people in the VI with this? Thank you so much everyone:)

Sorry, could you please explain exactly what a paramedical esthetician does?

You might try calling some of the spas. I'm not sure we have the medical specialities that would support such work in a doctor's office.

Your best bet is to do some research and then come for a visit with a list of possible employers to go and see. Face to face is always best here.

There is someone in Dr Robinson's office that does chemical peels. You need to check with DLCA , as I understand that this can only be done with physician oversight. No plastic surgeons here. This is for St Thomas.

Thanks Linda, we are trying to come up with a time for a PMV.
I know the economy still is not good anywhere, but if anyone could make up a list of types of jobs on St Thomas that there was in need of being filled, what would they be (no partical order).
Thanks everyone
Happy Mothers Day!!!!
