When I get out of high school I want to start massage therapy?

[ehh.]

Is this a good choice? Since I have two other sisters that want to go to college when they finish school it would be hard for my parents to help fund it for all three of us. So i was thinking since I am the oldest that once I finish hs i want to become a massage therapist (only needs 3 month class) and try to work at a salon to pay for college.
is this a good job/does it pay well?
are there other jobs similar that pay better, but without needing a college degree?
