Exploring This Job
Working full or part time as a sales clerk or in some other capacity within a retail business is a good way to learn about the responsibilities of operating and managing a business. Talking with owners of small shops (especially those that specialize in cosmetics) is also helpful, as is reading periodicals, such as Cosmetics (http://cosmeticsmag.com), that cover the cosmetics industry.
