Massage therapist?

ups and downs on this profession

Answer:
Ups: decent pay, people interaction, bringing much-needed relief to customers, and bragging rights and showing off at parties. heh

Cons: dealing with obnoxious customers, being female will almost certainly bring you sexual harassment from time to time (and tons of flirting, whether you want it or not)
a positive thing for relieving stress and muscle pains. deep tissue is one of the best things
very hands on so you will be tired at the end of each day. can make okay money or you can make very good money depending on where you get hired. most likely you will behired either from a hotel or local spa. getting hired from cruise ships or resorts is possible however you need lots of experience and training in order to do so. most liekly you'll start off hourly at around 10 bucks maybe. if you decide to open your own little salon or boutique then you can charge upwards of $50/hr for massages however getting business is the tricky part. you can do this part time as well and charge maybe $25-30 an hour for massages.
Clientel can be a challenge. If you work for a spa-you typically get less then half of massage price.

Make your own hours. Lots of free personal time. Good work out as well.
Happy endings

More ups & downs depend on the therapist and generally cost more
