What about Your Massage Education?
24 March 2010I ask a lot of rhetorical questions on my blog…
From the onset of my training, I noticed that their are some who are not in it for the healing affects, they were in it for the money. Now I must say throughout the education for those who stuck with it, they started to turn from the dark side to the light. They first are attracted to this career because of money and then turn their hearts toward the love of their career.
On the other hand the therapists desire, if it sticks to the thought of just making a ton of money, falls short of satisfaction in an otherwise very rewarding profession. I guess what I am trying to say, is that the ability to see the improvement and well-being in your clients is far more satisfying then the stress and strain of trying to rake in the doe.
So in that light, you want to have or seek out the best possible education for your training so you don’t have to worry about where the next buck is coming from, because of your performance in your profession, the clients will soon come to you. The education is the foundation, this is why it truly disturbs me to read about money centered programs that are designed to train a Massage Therapist. On top of that, money talks according to Princeton Review. You not only can pass others on a waiting list to get your education because you can afford the tuition, you get to be experimented on to see if this part online/ part lab curriculum works. It sounds great to be able to have this choice but, hows the curriculum? Do they truly gain a sure foundation for their respective profession, or is it just cattle call and money exchange?
The only sure way you can survive in a field that is in demand, is to have the knowledge necessary to support it. Without a sure place to stand, you shall surly falter. This Princeton Review idea can be a great asset, IF they have the best education available to go along with this money centered fast-track.
