How much money does a massage therapist make compared to a medical assistant?

• Answer:

  A massage therapist by far the most lucrative career that you can do. It involves many good educational training courses, and professional development courses. You are able to stay in it for the duration of your career. I know a couple of massage therapists that have been in the field for going on 25 years now. The other poster was right that yes it does put a lot of strain on your wrists, and hands, but you can do palm and hand stretches, as well as flexing the palm of your hand. Keeping your wrists flexed is one of the most important things that you need to know in this field. The practitioner that I work with is able to see a minimum of 8-10 clients a day, and if you're working for yourself, it is a lot more lucrative, as you're able to keep the overhead that you earn. Whereas if you're working with a lot of other people, you don't make as much. For instance, you could make at least 45,000 + a year when you have established your clientele basis. A medical assistant is also a lucrative career as well, but it doesn't give you the same money. You get a lot more being a massage therapist.
