LPN to MT???

As you have probably read from other posts, massage therapy can be a difficult profession. The majority of the best paying jobs take a lot of work and do not have benefits...in other words, you own your own business. However, you there are jobs out there that do have some benefits if you look around, they just don't pay as well...the obvious advantage is that your clients are found for you. Some massage schools will help you find a job, too. Also, going into business with another therapist can help cut costs...you don't have to be "partners."...just share space/rent/utilities/equipment. I'm new at this, too...I've been doing lots of reading and trying to learn from others. Much of this is learn as you go. I'm fortunate I have a good job as a nurse, like you. At my job, part timers get the same benefits as the full timers, so if I wanted, I could but to part time (when I can afford it...not any time soon.) I am going to start slowly.

Good luck. As a nurse, you've got a little jump ahead.
