which career should i choose? massage, physical or occupational therapy?We Answered:
I used to be a massage practitioner and spa owner. Mistify is absolutely right. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Physical Therapy.Massage practitioners are not respected like PTs and OTs. Most people consider them to be more like escorts or prostitutes, even if they don't admit it out loud. PT/OT jobs also offer benefits, unlike massage jobs.
PTs can work almost anywhere, too, and offer a much wider variety of services. There was a PT on my last cruise, in fact. Massage practitioners are trapped in one room working 12 hour days, forced to sell product on cruise ships.
If you life in the US the education varies by state, but the national average is 500 hours or 6 months of trade school for massage, no college required. OT varies from 4-6 years. Most states are going to a DPT which takes 6-7 years of real college to complete.
If you have the brains and talent to get into college, DO IT! You will enjoy a real professional career that will last you a lifetime. 90% of all massage practitioners quit in 3-5 years because of low pay, emotional and physical burnout. I quit after 6 years because it was more hassle than it was worth, and I grew very tired of being treated like an escort. I'm better than that!
Good luck in whatever you decide!

What is the line of treatment for a car accident victim?We Answered:
My father was a car accident victim. His car slammed in to a truck, and slid underneath, cutting the entire top of the car off.Both halves of my father were taken to the morgue, and after an investigation, he was cremated. I sprinkled his ashes in the back yard.
I think that this kind of treatment should have been offered to you, don't you agree?

Need serious help in choosing a career in the health/science field.?We Answered:
Well I see you're interested in sports and muscle systems so to me that screams Physical Therapy. Of course you cannot go directly to PT school, so for undergraduate I would look into Kinesiology or Movement Science (If your college offers it), or Exercise Science.I see that you also list nutrition as an interest. Have you considered becoming a nutritionist or a dietitian? You will probably need a masters in it to get anywhere in that, but for undergraduation look into a major in Nutrition, Health Science or something along those lines.
