Question:
I want to be a Spa Therapist/Masseur?
But the the internet doesnt seem to give me much answers but i would just like to know what is the average of the hours i will work and my salary and how many years i would attend school for that.
Answers:
The requirements vary from state to state as far as education needed, licensing requirements, etc. You should get out the Yellow Pages and look for schools in your area. I went to school for 18 months.
The hours you work, and your salary will depend on where you work. I'd say a good "average" is $25-30,000 a year. I work for myself and though I make $60 an hour, it isn't steady income, one week I'll do 10 massages, the next week I'll do 3 massages. I was an "employee" at a doctors office for a year and made $15 an hour plus $3 per 30 minute massage. However, they were charging $90 for that 30 minute massage! I got tired of feeling like their "cash cow".
You really do have to like the work. Good luck!
