Can I sue my state (GA) if it doesn’t process my esthetician license in time and I lose my job because of it?

I applied for my esthetician license about (1) month ago (they received 9/22/08 according to my confirmation email). The states website and licensure application says it takes about 10-15 business days to process and send it to the applicant.

In the meantime, I have received a job offer for an esthetician position with a spa, the only thing is that they need a copy of my license in order for me to start working.

I have called the state numerous times to check on the status of my application. In addition I have filed a complaint with the state board. A license applications specialist called me to tell me that they were really backed up but would process my application by this week, but to date, nothing has been done. If I lose my job because of the state's negligence, can I sue them for loss of income? What recourse do I have as a citizen if the state's workers dont' process things in a timely manner?

Medical Esthetician in INDIANA?

How do I become a Medical Esthetics's in INDIANA??? I can NOT find it anywhere on the net. I am looking into the cosmetic/plastic surgery setting. I live in Fort Wayne and I can't find a school for the "medical" part of esthetics's.

Would I need to be a Physicians Assistant, Nurse Practician, ect. to work with a Plastic Surgeon?

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and my main goal is to work side-by-side with a Plastic Surgeon. I have always been extremely interested in Laser Scar Removal, Botox, Breast Agmentation, Rhinoplasty, Lipodissolve, ect. I would also like to maybe do some reconstructive work for burn victums.
My plan as of lately is to get my foot in the door by going to school to be a Master Medical Esthetician, not to be confused with a simple Esthetician (many states don't offer this license, but Utah is one of the few who do.) Master Medical Estheticians learn all the normal Esthetics as well as extensive training on the Medical side of things; Micodermabrasion, LED light therapy, laser hair removal, botox, ect. Once I have this license, I plan on trying my best to get as good of a job as I can in this field with the economy being as crappy as is it right now, then get all of my general ed. out of the way by doing online courses.
Then my plan is to go to the University of Utah to study something in the medical field that would allow me to work side-by-side with, or under the insurance of, a Plastic Surgeon, but I'm not sure what degree would allow me to do this! Would it be a Physicians Assistant? A Nurse Practician? Something else?
If anyone know the answer to this or if anyone thinks this is a horrible way to go about doing things, please feel free to share.
THANKS!

salary for esthetician's?

Will going back to school for a 1 yr. licensing school stop my unemployment checks?

I recently got laid off from a Fortune 500 Company. I was thinking about going back to school to get a Esthetician license to use in conjunction with my Marketing degree. The program is 46 weeks and I live in California. Will this stop me from receiving unemployment checks? Any new advantages with the new stimulus package?

Will My US Esthetics License transfer in the UK?

I currently hold a valid esthetician license in NH. My husband and I are considering moving back to the UK (he's a UK citizen). I'd like to be able to work as an esthetician in the Uk but I can't find any information on whether my license or hours will be valid over there, or whether I will have to start from scratch all over again and obtain their certificate?
