I am currently freshman in high school, what courses do I need to take to become a massage therapist?

Question

I recently signed up to take Intro to HealthCare Science next year. Was this a smart choice?

Answer 1

Sure, for a basic background. But you will need to repeat everything you've taken at a more advanced level once you reach college.

Answer 2

Well, let me ask you this: What's your passion? Can you imagine being a massage therapist for the rest of your career? If so, go for it. Massage therapists often make very good money, and can own their own business with lots of flexibility (very important as you get older and likely have kids). Are you REALLY interested in Psychology? What would you see yourself doing with that degree? Do you really want to go through at least 4 more years of school (likely more--you can't do much with a Bachelor's in Psyc)? If your dream is to be a psychologist, then go for it. I'm just saying don't feel pressured to do one thing or the other just because your parents think you should, or because that's what "most people" do, etc.

Answer 3

i definitely think anatomy would be a great class for you. you should go talk to a school counselor, some schools offer dual enrollment for classes like that so you can get college and high school credits at the same time

Answer 4

There is nothing in High School that will help you persay since you will have to learn a lot of it again in college. But still take School SERIOUS.

Answer 5

I don't think there are any subjects in High School for that. Maybe PE is the closest I can think of

Answer 6

That sounds good. Take as much biology and anatomy as you can get.

Answer 7

Must have good hands and relaxation

Answer 8

just learn the happy ending and you will do fine

Answer 9

sure. college will get you what you need too.
