School For Massage Therapy

School For Massage Therapy

Is massage therapy school difficult and is the field itself competetive?

i was thinking about going to school for massage therapy. just waondering anything and everything about it. is is difficult? does it pay well? is it long hours? is it worth it? is it competetive?…

Find the best massage therapist in your area and then give that person a massage and let them tell you if you have any skills at all. If you have something you can build on then you should go to school. I have to tell you though that massage schools dont teach good massage, they teach basic massage. The only way to become really good is working side by side with a great massage therapist. I made 75$ and hour ten hours a day with no breaks 5 days a week.

I used to get people that had paid 9k for school and when they got out of school thought they knew everything. THey also thought they would be making the big bucks right off the bat. I did make the big bucks right off the bat, but that because I am a born natural. Not every one will be like that. Other massage therapist like to say ” Well every massage is different and not everyone wants the same kind of massages”. We people at least want a massage that works on them.

The ones that dont make it usually end up doing “happy ending” massages. It is sad and is really bad for the persons emotional state. Both men and women do happy ending massage so be careful of who you are talking too.

Good massages therapist pay booth rent or have their own place. They never work on commisson! Commission is for whimps that will never make it. Why would you pay someone a percentage for you hard labor? Its not their arms and shoulders and hands that could wear out.

Good Luck. You can always go back to your day job.
