How much do successful massage therapist make?

RainbowFantasy28 asked:


I am going to go to school for massage therapy and will also learn basic spa treatments like body wraps and scrubs. How much would I make annually from doing that working at an up scale spa, if I am very successful?
I thought it was obvious that I am saving up money to go to school and that I haven’t enrolled yet, therefore I am asking people who have experienced what it’s like in the field.

    I just graduated massage school myself in Florida..A part time therapist can make about 13, 000-25,000 if they work hard and see clients regularly and a full time therapist it may double that if business is good. That including any tips!!!! Good luck with school. You learn allot of new holistic things but it’s hard work…

    You’ll make little and work very hard. You’ll be lucky to make 25k a year and that’s crap. Use it as a job until you get through school don’t see it as a career it’s not. Good luck!
