You need to know how to talk about what you do and promote yourself even if you get a job your success will depend on your ability to communicate. In massage school you don't really learn that much but you do learn anatomy and physiology, massage theory and different types of massage skills.

You don't go to college for massage usually- you go to massage school. Tech schools usually don't have really good programs from what I know. Go to a regular massage school.

Answer 2

Going to college is like making your own road in life, so making the right decision is very essential. And I think you should get a course related to massage therapy like physical therapist or nursing because massage therapy is just a vocational course. Having a degree nowadays is important for you to be recognized and to have a big chance of having success. Massage therapy is just a vocational course and you can learn that after.
