Worrying if they will be able to land any good massage therapy jobs upon completion of the course is one of the biggest issues that most people who are nearing graduation face.
One place you should be certain to look is at your own massage therapy training school. Find out whether each school has an alumni relations office which will put you in touch with some of the school's graduates to hear what they have to say.
Here is a calling that pays well in more ways then one!
An important resource to consider is your massage therapy school's outreach programs for alumni. Try contacting graduates through the alumni relations office to see how their job search process went.
Work opportunities open for massage therapists include working in a massage studio, a day spa or salon, or in a medical environment such as at a hospital or a doctor's clinic. Depending on your local area, there may also be massage therapy job openings at hotels, resorts or cruise ships.

Sometimes, the demand differs between the availability of massage therapy jobs in the mobile massage market or a day spa and jobs that are in a clinical setting like a chiropractic or physical therapy office. You may find that there is a real dearth of positions in one section of town and a wealth of opportunities in another.
Be a healer; use your hands to make a difference!
You'll want to speak with active professional massage therapists to learn about the job market in your region. Don't contact only those who are affiliated with your school. Be sure to get in touch with people in various neighborhoods and with people who have all different sorts of massage therapy experience. Don't forget that each one you speak with was once a beginner like you. You'll generally find them more than willing to spend a few minutes answering your questions. They may even make some concrete suggestions or provide you with some leads for massage therapy jobs you can look into once you've had sufficient training.
If you're aware of a place that you think will be your ideal massage therapy job, call and talk with some of the massage therapists who work there as well as the person responsible forfilling massage therapy job openings. Ask the therapists where they received their education and what they enjoy and dislike about their current position. What appears to be a wonderful massage therapy job to a customer might not be the perfect job when you investigate the inner workings of the establishment.
