Massage therapy as a carrer in New York City (or surrounding areas)?

[scoutin]

I am going to a great (and reputable) Massage Therapy Training School in Missouri. I am moving to New York City about 6 months after I finish the program, but I am going to keep taking more specialty classes up until I move. My question is, what is a salary for a Massage Therapist starting out in New York City? I'm not sure what kind of therapy specifically I will go into, but what is the most lucrative direction to go (medical massage, pre-natal, spa...)? Thanks!

I'm not sure about in the city, but at the casinos I believe they make $1/minute.

The casinos in Vegas charge $2/ minute but that does not mean that the therapist get all that money. Also a license good in Missouri may not be good in NYC depends on number of hours and possibly other things. My daughter studied Massage Therapy in California and out there it depends on which town you want to work in how many hours of schooling is required.
