You may have decided you wanted to do massage therapy buy having it mentioned to you by someone else because they hear that they make good money. You don't want to just get a job for the money, you also may want to get a job that helps people or a job that you love what you do and can see yourself working in one place for the rest of your life.
You want to make sure that this is something you want to do for the rest of your life before you jump into anything. You may have already gone through four schools and the degrees you tried getting you found out was too hard. To avoid having to go through school after school after school, you need to find out if this would be a career that's right for you. Sure it may have been suggested to you but just because someone suggests it does not mean you have to run with this idea.
Doing as much research as you can, is a great thing because you'll be finding out more about the program and what you'll be doing on a daily basis. Finding research online is not the only best resource you can go through. It's also helpful if you go to a hospital or a doctor's office or anyplace that would have therapists and see what kinds of hours per day.
You might not be able to sit down and talk with them about your career goals but you may be able to observe them as long as you stay out of their way. This kind of career field may require lots of finger activity with your fingers and you may also be using a lot of oil. You want to make sure that the person is as relaxed as you want them to be.
From what it sounds like you may have already done your research and would want to continue on finding schools to get the career you may have always dreamed of. When it comes to schools for this type of career field, you get to make a choice on whether you would like to go to school for nine months and just get trained in massage therapy or you may want to get an associates degree so that way you'll be able to advance in more jobs if this kind of job is not available.
This may take some time to think about because you may not want to be in school for long. You may be very excited about starting a job in this field right away. It may be better for you to get an associates degree as well because then more jobs will become available that you can try or you may even want to spend the nine months in training and get a full on associates degree.
It depends on when you're checking into schools because you don't want to sneak up on the deadline to begin in the January semester or the fall semester. If that does happen where you end up waiting too late, then the worst thing would be is you would have to wait before the next semester deadline is up. See if you can get an e-mail about what the dates are for registration so you won't be missing anything.
Once you're trained and have your degree in massage therapy, you may feel well accomplished because this may be the first school you have ever been through all the way until you graduate. You may would want to start your own practice someday in the future
