Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy?
I'm in to my 3rd year of college and still havent found a major. I was looking up massage therapy and was wondering if someone could fill me in on all the details. I would like to know how much they make, how many days they work, and any other important details if possible.
Thanks for asking.
If you ask 10 massage therapists this question, you'll get 10 answers. Doesn't mean you shouldn't ask, but don't expect that to be the end of your research.
Let's take another career field as an example: hair stylist. Most don't make much more than minimum wage by the time they figure out their hours. But, a few Make Over $50,000 a year. What's the difference? It's not because they work more hours... it's either because they service their clients better or they do a better job of marketing themselves or both. The same could be said of a waitress/waiter. It's not what you do. It's how well you do it, AND what you contribute to the marketplace that people desire!
Forget about choosing a career based on what you think will be the best place to make money. Choose a career based on what appeals to you & that people with money will gladly pay for - over and over.
Cheers,
Rod
