Choosing a massage therapy school - part 1
Question 3: Will therapeutic massage school
hours work with the rest of my loyalties?
Virtually all schools are aware that the individuals who are attending
their curriculum have other things to do as well. Most students have to
hold down jobs while attending massage school, while others have children
at home. Many schools offer programs designed to cater to the working
adult. Check to make sure that the school you like offers a variety of
schedules to meet your needs.
Question 4: How do I pay for it?
When you compare the cost of becoming a licensed massage therapist verses
the cost of a bachelors degree, you would save approximately $60,000.
Even so, most of us do not have $5,000 - $9,000 lying available to place
in an education. Hence, financial aid is important to consider. Keep the
following in mind: All federal loans and grants for education can be paid
only to students attending federally accredited schools. Look for a reputable
accreditation, such as the Integrative Massage & Somatic Therapies
Accreditation Council, which has been recognized by the U.S. Department
of Education as a specialized accrediting agency.
Question 5: How long will it take to get
to the massage therapy school?
If you have narrowed it down to a couple of schools, choose the closer
one! With the cost of gas rising, congestion getting worse all the time,
road rage, and wear-and-tear on your vehicle, location should be a priority.
Picture yourself making the same drive 5 days a week before you choose
that nice little school across town.
Again let me congratulate you on your career choice. Massage Therapy School can be one of the greatest decisions you may decide upon. I hope that these words of advice will turn out timely for you as you start out your journey into a wonderful profession.
