Hello, my hubby and I own a medi/dayspa. We have a massage therapist and 3 aestheticians(skin care therapists, myself included). I honestly believe being a massage therapist just for the money will not satisfy you. I have been to many spas and had many massages, but if I don’t feel the positive energy flowing from the therapist my massage has gone down the drain. You have to have a certain flow and rhythm when massaging, that is exactly what our therapist has and ofcourse it takes time to develop this, she has been in the biz for more than 10 years, I cannot enjoy massages any where else now, because she has so much energy. You learn how to heal the body from the inside, ofcourse starting with our muscles, lymphatic drainage, stone massages, pregnancy massage, its wonderful field, but you have to be up for the challenge when a client wants a deep tissue, you have to have strong hands and muscles to deliver the service. Money wise, you have to be smart on where you want to work, a chiropractic office, salon or resort? I say resorts are always best, but you won’t get to form a relationship with your clients, for some that works, but our therapist loves to chat and be concerned about her customers, everyone is different, eh? Good luck and also choosing a good school is very important, ones that focus on eastern philosophy are best.
You can learn many things from it.
You can earn from like $15 to $60 per hour or so after finding good clients.
It mostly costs $13,000 and at least 500 hours and a test to get a liscence. Varies by state.
Learning the basic strokes is fairly easy for most people. Difficult to get good at it. Takes lots of practice and learning. The difficult thing is dealing with clients falling in love with you and/or falling for them. Usually one sided I think. People can be hard to deal with, some are aggressive, some lewd, some just inconsiderate. If you are comfortable with touching and being touched, then give a try I think.

You get paid about 60 an hour. It is probably easy.
It may not always be in demand though.

You spend all day standing. OK pay, depending where you live. Check out some of your local community colleges.
