Answers:
I have been one for 9 years. You have to be able to be liquid in good times and bad. Now, things are good, but with this economy, maybe not so for long. I love what I do, that's first. also, if you like massages, that's a plus. You've been the client. If you have never had one, go get a few, see how you feel about working on your feet, for an hour, and then doing 3-4 more after that! You have to fit, and healthy. The money is not the best, could be better, but if you love it, then do it. I am blessed with my career. I have more than enough clients. Some weeks I can't get them all in! It is not steady income. When the weather changes, so does your pay! Go talk with one that has quite a bit of experience. also, specialize. Find a modality that you like done on yourself, and when you graduate take additional certifications. It will make you more rounded and you can use so many modalities in one session to help someone. Make yourself stand out from all the others. That is why people will come to you!Health Question & Answer

Sure, it's great career, if you have other talents to go along with it, and have the collateral to open your own business.
For instance:
Massage Therapist, Barber, Cosmetologist, Nail Technician, etc.
I retired from being a L.M.T. (licensed massage therapist)
I lived out in the country, and offered massage out of my house.
This is how the scenario went from month to month.
Maybe a massage or two every other week, and certainly not enough money for gainful employment.
So think twice before you invest the money necessary to attend the school. If you know for sure, where, and who you will be employed by, or if you are planning on opening up your own business, then I would say for sure. GO FOR IT!Health Question & Answer

I have to tell you, it's very hard work and there are a lot of them.
I recommend becoming a physical therapist far more.Health Question & Answer
