How Much Would a Massage Therapist Make in a Small Town?

Question by Gorgeous: how much would a massage therapist make in a small town?
just out of curiosity. I don’t plan on going to a 4 + year college and I don’t know what all career options I have. my friend told me id be good at massage therapy because well supposedly I give awesome massages and what not. I looked online and it said id be making about 180,000 dollars a year but that sounds to me like id have to be in this really great area and I live in an extremely small town. just curious about my salary if I stayed(I don’t plan on it). also if someone could tell me some enjoyable careers that pay well that would be appreciated.

ZERO so she closed up shop. Small towns the residents are just not into paying for a massage.
The one in our town tried for two years to build a business and finally gave up.
You would do better becoming a dog groomer.

I highly doubt you could make a living in a small town. Massage therapists are generally located in more affluent area with the disposable income to get massages. But, consider being a massage therapist you could afford to live in a resort community such as Maui, or a Caribbean island
