Recently licensed in NY

Hi all. Just wanted to say that I have been lurking here for a few months sporadically, and this is such a great resource. So glad I stumbled upon this forum!

I just graduated from massage school in August and received my license to practice in the state of NY just a week ago. I had my first interview today (it went well - I got a position!), and have another lined up for Monday.

Massage is a third career for me. After some serious thought, in 2010 I left a career in corporate finance to start massage school. Before working in finance, I obtained a M.A. in Special Education and was a teacher for five years. Like many massage therapists, I also have a background in dance.

So, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I am going to post a question about deep tissue massage and interviews in the (hopefully) appropriate section, shortly. I would love some input from the veterans here!

Welcome BklynGrl! And congrats on your license and on getting a position already! My sis and her hubby live in Brooklyn and I got to stay with them while attended massage school in the city; it's definitely my favorite borough!

I hope we will see you around a lot as there are so many great people here filled with tons of experience and knowledge.

Welcome!

I can't wait to hear what all you have to tell us in the forums. You seem to have a wonderful background that not too many of us have. I am sure it will help us all in ways untold.
