Even as job opportunities expand for massage school grads, it is still a challenge when trying to determine which path to choose for a career as a massage therapist. Some therapists opt to start their own business, some go to work in a spa environment and others pursue opportunities in a more clinical environment.
One seemingly glamorous option is to hire on as a massage therapist on a cruise ship. Going on a cruise is a personal luxury that virtually everyone aspires to, but what about working while cruising?
Lovelyn Bettison is a massage therapist and she provides a pretty frank assessment of the position of massage therapist on a cruise ship on her blog. Seems that the work is hard, the hours are long and the living accomodations are less than ideal. Still, Lovelyn finds a few bright spots in her position profile and it is helpful to have as much information in hand as possible before making a decision and a committment that could have you away from home for close to a year in some cases.
