How to Create or Find Higher paying jobs in massage

I am tired of getting emails from people who are frustrated with their jobs. Most massage jobs are low paying, entry level, demanding jobs that seem to lead to burn out or injuries or both.

Finding or creating your Ideal job in massage requires that you know what you want in a job and need in a job and working to find a match for those needs. By taking jobs that are less than your ideal job, you are hurting yourself and the profession. Part of the problem is that you don't really know what you are getting into sometimes and jobs that start out looking good end up the nightmare job and people feel stuck there for whatever reason. You have to sometimes go through some bad jobs so that you can see more clearly what it is that you want/need. When you can start saying no to jobs that don't suit you, you will often find more opportunities because you are focusing on what you want.

Finding and/or creating your ideal job also requires that you have the job interview skills and self confidence in your job search. Thinking more about what you can do for the potential employers to help them build their business rather than on yourself can help you in creating the job you want (although that may sound contradictory right now - it isn't really)

Share your ideas, questions, tips for getting and creating high paying jobs in massage. Say no to low paying unfulfilling jobs today!

Thanks for what you do and contribute. We in the industry know that it takes skills, dedication, continuing education, business savvy and patience to build a practice.

As for low paying jobs, the ones that don't provide any resource for commission etc., should be stopped, I agree. Most MT's don't realize these places even exist when they first enter the field.

I have seen Chiro offices take advantage of this the most. :(

I love what you say about "helping build your employers business ...helps yourself". Our business as MT's is always our business, no matter what the situation. The fact - we must maintain our clientele. They are our business!
