Providing a service is an excellent a way to make money with a business of your own. One service that continues to be in demand is being a massage therapist. If you have ever had a massage you know what a wonderful thing it is.
There are a few things to consider before you can become a massage therapist. Certainly one of those is how many hours of massage school you will need before you can start charging people for a massage?
This can vary depending on the state you live in. Many states have licensing boards that you can contact to determine how much education will be required before you can begin giving massages.
Because each state does vary in the laws they enforce, having a license in one state will not allow you to practice in another state until you get real licensed in it.
Generally the minimum number of hours of school that most states require is 500 hours or more. Going to a massage therapy school will help you receive the training and the practice you need. From there your own abilities will determine whether you can have a successful massage therapy business.
As an entry level massage therapist you can expect to earn somewhere around $15 an hour giving massages. If you decide to start your own business, and build a clientele up, you can comfortably charge $30-$50 an hour or even more. Of course as your business matures you will develop a repeat customer base that can provide a comfortable living for you.
