Massage as a career

by rammy

I chose a degree in massage as I needed a change. Just the idea of knowing that I could someday get away from the "daily grind" was all the push I needed to pursue a new career.

I haven't always had the best jobs. At age sixteen I was working in a restaurant with my Aunt for a little over minimum wage. I was the grunt and was often called in on short notice to cover for whoever and whatever their job was. After I graduated high school, I went to work for the local cable company which lent a little more to my wallet but not much more in dignity. I had nosy co-workers and a boss who didn't know the meaning of being tactful. Unfortunately, this stint in the cable business would lead me down an eight year road of customer service H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.

After three years in yet another customer service position for a local bank's call center, I decided I needed more in life and it should involve doing what I'm good at and making more money wouldn't be a bad thing either. So that's when I looked into massage courses. This would give me the opportunity to break out of the customer service rut I was in and place me in high demand for a career anywhere.
