I don't know about advice. Well if I was giving advice. Learn trigger points. Read my thread and you will know why. But the title of your thread is. What do you wish you had learned before you started you career? Well first off. I would not change my decision to be a massage therapist for anything. I love my work. But I was under the fantasy that I would be rich. Fifty bucks and hour in the 1980s. Well, at times Ive made exceptional money. But I'm still not rich.. But like I said.. I love my work, and I'm into it.
