experiences and advice needed

hello,
i've just found this forum, which is great for me as i have been thinking of training to become a massage therapist. i would really appreciate if any massage therapists could share their experiences or advice on starting out, training, careers and anything else i might need to know! i've been thinking about this change for a while now but feel i don't really know enough about the reality of being a therapist and the thought of commiting myself to a courseis making me put off the decision. please post any info that will make my mind up and give me the confidence to commit. many thanks.
