I am writing this after 20 years of making a living as a massage therapist in Seattle WA. Through the years I have seen many massage therapists come and go - some that I have even personally recommended going to massage school. When I first started there were very few jobs and doing massage was more about a lifestyle than making a living. As more massage therapists have entered the market, it makes massage therapists take their massage business more seriously and see it as a business. Being a massage therapist can still be a very rewarding and successful career when you go into it being fully prepared and informed. You can do so when you purchase the "Massage Therapy Career Guide - The Truth about becoming a massage therapist" now in it's 4th edition since 2002. I constantly am updating the information based on feedback from my readers.
