The massage therapist salary is wrong. Most are sole proprietors and have business expenses or if independant contractors they only get paid a percentage of what the client pays. That figure looks more like gross sales for a sole proprietor before bussiness expenses such as rent, advertising, continuing education, licensing fees, insurance and other supplies.. If you cick on massage therapy the link shows an avargage salary of $37,180. Definitaly more realistic. I've seen this misrepentation of massage therapist earning in a lot of places. You can not simply multiple cost of an hour massage by 40 hrs. This makes me question if the other occupations salaries are exaggerated too.
