Hey Massage guy,
I just recently graduated massage school and am not sure where to go from here. I have a couple of job offers from massage businesses in my area, but I have heard some not to great things about working for them online. I want to work for myself but don’t really know how to get started… got any advice for a recent graduate?
Signed,
Confused Newbie
Hello CN,
First off on behalf of all your new brothers and sisters, let me welcome you to the wellness community. It is a noble thing to make your career out of helping others and it can be very rewarding once you find your place that is.
Your situation is one that most new and even many seasoned therapists find themselves in and your options deserve to be given some real thought on your part as I believe most of us can look back and think of a few things we wish we would have known earlier in our careers.
While I can’t know for sure which path is best for you, I can offer you some things to consider as you make your choice…
1) Start by evaluating your options to see which are immediate needs vs long term wants.
a. Do you have student loans? And immediate expenses that are due or are you blessed enough to have some family support
