Massage therapy…?
Does anyone know anything about massage therapy as of qualifications? Do you just automatically go to a massage therapy school after high school, or do you have to get basic college work done?? If anyone knows anything, that would be great! Thanks. : ]

College work is not required but most massage schools will require a high school diploma or equivalent. Make sure you evaluate at least three schools. Make appointments and sit in on classes and talk to students and professors. The tone of a school is very important. There is a good guide to choosing a massage school at the link below.
Each state has its own licensing process. There is no college requirement, although some colleges offer massage courses. Generally the only requirement to attend massage school is ability to pay the fees. Before you are licensed, most staes require quite a few hours of "student massage." Check around and pick a good school. More importantly, when you’re ready to go to work, pick an area where there isn’t already a glut of practitioners, and one where people can afford to pay for your services.
