Is anyone as dissapointed with mage therapy as a career as I am?

When I was 25 I was so excited to get into alternative healthcare because my art career never took off so I began a career in mage and boy....when i went out to find work all i got was evil whip cracking spa owners, sitting all day in an empty salon with no appointments showing up, lying head chiropractor crooks who never pay you what your worth or even on time.....never knowing if you'll make 1000 dollars or 200 dollars a week, ridiculously expensive CEU's, fees, tables, chairs, etc, driving 20 miles for the client who doesnt show up to the office, hurt back, hurt wrists, but all the clients complain "it's never deep enough" gross smelly patients with hairy backs, snide comments from other therapists who view you as a threat, and an endless stream of new grads (every six months how many schools graduate a plethora of hopefuls who make the competition even more fierce) phew!! I have never made it...im going back to school for nursing...more money, more jobs
