5.0 out of 5 stars A very valuable, concise resource., August 10, 2006

This review is from: Massage Therapy Career Guide for Hands-On Success (Paperback)

This book poses what appear to be all the proper questions. I've used it as a guide for interviewing practicing massage therapists and have been complimented on the research I've done. Since this is the only book I've read, I think that's saying alot. Great information on where to think about working once you've trained, how much setting up a business might cost, etc. and lists of other reliable resources for decision making. I'm very happy with this purchase and recommend this book to anyone considering training for a career in massage therapy .

I had been interested in massage therapy and considering a career change. It was difficult to find the answers to my questions until I found this book. It is written by a man with great respect and authority in the world of massage therapy. It handles both business and technical issues related to entering the world of massage.

The book has great information for someone starting schooling or career as a massage therapist. It's easy to read and understand. The shipping from this particular person on Amazon took a while (even though it still was within the guaranteed time).
