Re-thinking my massage career
I have barely started. I just took my licensing exam and passed, and will have my license soon. I’m just not sure if the field or work environments are for me. I have been a receptionist at a spa for 6 months, and my manager has been one of the worst authority figures I’ve ever worked with. From what I’ve seen and heard, this industry is just like that. Bad management. I feel like I have no support and the manager hasn’t made any concrete plans to move me to the massage therapist position at our spa now that I have my license (which we agreed to upon my interview.) I’m thinking of leaving now but I can’t say I have high hopes that the next job will be better. I have no interest in going on my own, I don’t want to have to work 24/7. Even now I find I have to have my phone on at all times because my manager expects me to, which I believe is illegal.
I’m starting to think I might just apply to CSA remote roles, or wait tables. It sucks because I’ve been working towards this since January, but I’m not sure what else to do. Am I better off if I just get out now?
