Views on YOUR JOB?

[Danielle87]

I would like to know your overall view of your job. For example, the highs and the lows, Your hours, stress? high pay? low pay? Do you really enjoy it?

[Mimi]

PROS:
helping people get better
meeting lots of people
watching people grow
it's interesting
it's sometimes "glamorous"
gratuities
feeling appreciated
feeling needed
massage oil shopping (I love it!)


CONS:
sexual harassment
stinky bodies
people who are hard to please
people draining you
can be slow if you can't afford to market yourself
some people misconstrue massage therapy for sexwork, so when you tell them your profession they get this look on their face or make a stupid comment
oily sheets ...what a peeve
