I need information about massage therapist?

[Lauren]

I'd like to hear from someone who has actually been/is in the business, please.

well anyways, I'm still in highschool but I've really been thinking about being a massage therapist when i graduate.

I wanna know if they make a lot of money, and is it a hard job?
and is it a hard collage to get into to be a massage therapist?
I basicaly want to know about it all really.

Also, to be honest.. I don't want a hard job for life, i wan't a job thats pays good but nothing I can't handle, you know?

Me and my boyfriend of 7 years have been talking about the future and how were going to handle things.

We both think the same actually. We don't care too much about having expensive things. we want a small house that dosn't cost wayy too much (like a big expensive house would)
and to just live with things we can afford. we don't want a really good car, just a car that can run, ya know? Short story- We're okay living with cheap things, as long as they're not too crappy.

any suggestions on jobs that pay good enough to live through having (MABYE one animal), one kid, and two parents?

And if I'm wrong with anything and not seeing the reality with prices on things, please let me know.
