It depends on the extraservices she is willing to give…
There is no such thing as an average salary really. It all depends on the place you work. On straight commission (usually no more than 20-40%) if you do not massage, you do not get paid. On an hourly, no more than $15 per massage hour.
It will cost about $3000 to go to school.
If you go freelance, you get to keep all you make, but you must go out and get clients, and pay rent on a room, or take the risk of going to client’s location. Plus you have to advertise and have a way for people to contact you.
You would to well to make $12,000 the first year. If you are not your own sole supporter it could be workable to build your busines
