I have a certification in massage therapy but I think I'm interested in more Hospitality business that revolve around travel, resorts, managment, and massage. I'm ready to jump hands and feet into a promising new career. What have your experiences been like with the hospitality business?

I know a very successful business man who said the best thing he ever did for training was being a caddie on a golf course at a country club. He met very wealthy people, learned a lot about business from listening to deals being made, learned when to keep his mouth shut, learned manners etc. and made good money. I assume you want to make money in the end so I think I'd learn people skills. That is very important in business.

Medical coding certification, while not a hard and fast requirement, is definitely recommended. The thing that you need to know is that Certified Medical Coders make more money than their non-certified counterparts – up to seventy percent more, as reported by the AAPC.

Moreover, career advancement opportunities are far more plentiful and more likely for those who are certified than for those without certification.

I am starting out at a junior college and then moving on to a 4 year university. I will major in accounting and obtain a bachelors degree in that, but while I am still at the junior college I would like to also earn a certification in massage therapy. That way I can have a cool side job while I am finishing my degree. Is this possible? Will I have enough electives or spare hours in order to get both? If not, will I have to take an extra semester to get that certification?

A good friend of mine went to massage therapy school while working full time. She didn’t have a problem balancing the coursework with her job, but she did have a problem when it came time to do her clinical work and putting in the hours required to complete her certification.

In your case, it really will come down to your school, your schedule and how many demands you have on your time. If you can earn credits in both programs at the same jc, you’ll save a lot of time not having to commute to two different schools. If the massage therapy courses count towards general electives, and you haven’t fulfilled them yet with other courses that will count as university transfer electives, it might work. If either program is offered mostly at night, then you need to realize you could be spending long days at school.

You haven’t given a lot of details, so it is difficult to accurately answer your questions. I suggest you talk to your academic advisor to look at where you are in your accounting program sequence of courses and how the massage therapy courses could fit in your schedule. The other thing to consider is that many massage therapists work nights and weekends, so you need to consider when you will be able to study for all your courses.

Good luck to you. Sounds like you are really thinking about how to fund your education!

Is it hard to get clientele? is it an enjoyable job? Can you make good money? are some schools better for certification than others? Is there a way I can get certified for any state in the US?

It depends on what you plan on doing with your biology degree. The fact is that massage therapy will never make you rich, it is hard work, and has a high rate of turnover because it's so hard. That said, if you can take all that you can make it a solid career. What I would recommend is that you continue your biology career, get your massage therapy degree part time and do massage part time to see if you like it. You may find you do and then you switch, and if you don't like it no harm.

I'm just graduating Massage Therapy school and I want something good to study from for the exam.

The best book to use is from massage review publications written by Michelle Phillips. The web address is
www.massagereview.com. The book is blue and black and there are 2 in the set. I used these books when I was studying for my state licensing exam.
