Top jobs for 2009

For artistic types that crave an ever-changing and challenging work environment, then the high-energy world of hair salons can be the ideal workplace. The pay is not amazing, unless you work your way up to the high-end salons, but job security is decent. Pictured here is award-winning Marietta hair stylist Refugio Garcia Escobedo. (If you are thinking that he doesn't fit the mold of most high-end hair stylists, Escobedo also moonlights as a bounty hunter.) Bob Andres / bandres@ajc.com
