Is Doing Massage School Part Time Worth It?
The part-time program I would be doing has zoom classes to check off most of the anatomy, physiology, etc. classes for one year, and then the second year is mostly the massage labs. I feel so sad picturing just being on zoom in my bedroom when I could be bonding with a group of people going through this experience together. I'm pretty social and I can't imagine not having anyone else to talk to whose also in the program. And by the time the second year comes around the rest of the class will all have in person anatomy, and physiology classes together, so I will miss out on study groups, built in social time in class, etc. I cannot really afford to do full time, I would have to take out loans and would be struggling because I work in a grocery store, so the hours are all over the place, and pay is low. I am also struggling with my health but doing only online classes for a year would give me plenty of time to get totally healthy again. I just need to do PT and get nutrition levels better. The orientation is early September so I don't have much time to make a choice anymore and I've been ruminating on it a lot all summer.
