Is the Massage Industry headed for trouble in the U.S.?

I find more and more experienced therapists, instructors and small clinic owners making similar statements about the state that the massage industry has come to. Especially the instructors who've been forced to take positions at places like Chubb, DeVry or Lincoln Tech teaching massage. Most of them have told me how guilty they feel teaching such poorly constructed programs. But they have bills to pay and kids to feed, so they teach at "schools" that have no business offering massage training. Read the blog at the link below and judge for yourself.

I've taught at one of those schools. I no longer teach there and, to date, only ONE of their students has passed the boards. And that student had to take them THREE times. It's pathetic.
