One way to learn more about massage therapy is to sign up for a session.

At the age of twenty, Justin completed training. Finding a job was easy for him because the field of massage therapy was growing at a fast rate. “I originally worked at a fitness center. I enjoyed my job, but I wasn’t paid as well as I would have liked. In order to earn the kind of pay I wanted to have, I would need to be more experienced.” Working at the fitness center allowed Justin to gain that experience.

I decided to wait to go to college.” For a student who already knows exactly what they want to do in life, earning a bachelor’s degree might be the right decision. However, college can be very expensive, and if you don’t know which degree you want to pursue, it can feel like a waste of money.
