I was thinking of going to NHI, www.nhi.edu, to become a massage therapist. Or like most people's thought, go to college and get a degree, in my case a psychology degree.Should I become a massage therapist or get a psychology degree after high school?
That depends on what is more important to you.
You can even do both, if you want. Get your massage certification, then do massage as your job while going to college for Psychology. There are even therapists who incorporate massage and touch therapy in their psychotherapy sessions, so the two fields can be quite compatible.Should I become a massage therapist or get a psychology degree after high school?
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.
massage therapist! psychology is too big of a deal...not many jobs. You will become someone giving advice when your life is complete SH1T. Plus who wants to be locked all her life in a office listening about the negative conflict strangers have. Humans haven't learned yet to deal with other people's personal affairs. You'll get too involved even though you don't want to. trust me
choose easy....be a massage therapist
Whatever interests you the most is your best option, just keep in mind that a psychology degree isn't going to get you far unless you get a Master's or a PhD.
Too many Psyc's.
