For the most part, massage therapists arent salaried.  They get a percentage of the fee the client is paying. On the low end it is usually 50/50.  ok is 60/40.  If you can get 70/30 you are doing pretty good.  The problem isnt the money.....the challenge is getting the clients.  Once you can overcome that...you are home free.

Hi there,\n\nYou are right, about 30,000 US a year according to http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Surgical_Technologist/Hourly_Rate and http://www.ank.tec.mn.us/surgtech.htm .

Orthodontists make hundreds of thousands of dollars (highest average income of all occupations).  It just doesn't seem especially difficult.  Just glue braces to teeth fronts then change wires every month.  Short hours.  Not bad.

Try contacting the Physical Therapy schools in your area (California State University, Sacramento - for example).  A student physical therapist may be interested in helping.\n\nOtherwise, look into social security, medicare, medicare in your state.

Surgeon's don't get paid hourly - if they're independent they bill based on what they do, and get paid what insurance and co-pays will get them.\n\nIf they're employees of hospitals, they get a "salary" - General surgions make about $150k in the Detroit area.

It all depends on the level you start at.  And it is more then 7 dollars the aforementioned a**hole said.  I made about 700 as a part time coach in high school.  You can obviously make more then that depending on what your position is and level. there is also a lot of volunteering in coaching, which you do not get compensated for, however the reward is more the effort you put into teaching kids. that's true regardless whether you get paid or not.  Its all about passion for a sport and the love of teaching it to a new generation.

The pay is variable...depending on the area you work, your experience, and your setting.  Probably the biggest group of physical therapists earn between $50-60,000 a year, but about 13%  earn over $75,000 a year...according to a 2005 survey by PT Advance Magazine.  Those who work for staffing agencies make considerably more, but this is not an ideal environment for a new graduate.  \n\nCurrently, enrollment in PT programs is down...making is less competetive to get in than it was 10 years ago (Our program had less than 50 qualified applicants for 36 slots last year, wheras in years past, it has been over 300).  This is probably because the job market took a dip in the late 90s...however, the demand is back up again.  I get at least one advertisement mailed to me everyday for a job opening.  \n\nGenerally speaking, jobs in the healthcare setting will only continue to grow.  PT, specifically, as people continue to engage in sports and athletics and as people live longer and whish to remain active.  \n\nThere are several environments for PTs to work in which can include: hospitals, free-standing clinics, rehabilitation hospitals, extended care facilities, schools, private practice, etc.  \n\nGood luck

I have looked up music therapist on a website that my school uses to help kids see what type of career they would like to do and music therapist isn't in it.  Instead i found Music teacher/instructor and they make $25,000 - $50,000 with benefits. Don't know if that helped but it was worth a chance.

a cardiology technician gets paid more, because its a  specialty. you do have to go through a four year program though. you can check this one out www.salary.com (its americian), it asks you for you zip-code  ( if you guys have that) and you can just type it in and see what areas pay what, or http://www.ccs.ca/home/index_e.aspx \n\nHOPE THAT HELPS.

Some have machines, others use their hands. It's really a wonderful experience, not really painful in a bad way... this pain is awesommmmmee! :)  If you're really outta line they may want you 3 times a week. You can't just go once and be cured. If you do go once, your bones will move to the right place and just move back to where they were comfortable before. If they are continually manipulated to where they should be, they will start getting comfortable and stay aligned. Geez, I really should be going! Call around for a quote. Many places will give you a free consultation and x-ray if necessary.

I'm going to partially dis agree with jet doc's post (No offense Jet) \n\nIn my opinion UTI Houston is one of the best schools available. \n\nTrue there may be a lot of students, but based on my experience and any that I hired from UTI have always been good technicians.\n\nIt's like anything else, you get what you put in. Good technicians are hard to find. I'm not speaking of the mechanic at the local tire store, but those who are dedicated to their profession.\n\nI believe that the best career choice with technicians are at dealerships, they typically have better benefits, pay and they are REQUIRED to send techs to training classes that the manufactuer offers.\n\nPay rates will differ depending on geographic locations. Larger cities will pay more of course. I know some who live in Dallas and are making $25-$30 per hour, while some others in smaller cities making 16-22 per hour (This is a small city with 55,000 people)\n\nTechs at dealerships are commonly paid based on the labor hours they produce and not on a hourly scale. So of course the more QUALITY work you produce the more pay.\n\nAn engineering job is a good choice, but for those who choose otherwise, I would recommend this career choice to anyone who has the desire, mechanical apptitude and the willingness to be the best.\n\nJerry Christopher\nhttp://www.usedcarwise.com

Really low.  In California it's just a couple of bucks above minimum wage.  That makes sense though because it requires almost no training.  Go into nursing instead.  Good income there.

Wow, monster.com is optimistic about our salaries.  Lab technicians make barely $35-45k entry level, and up to $55-70k when in senior positions.  But it depends on the company, hospital, lab you're working for.  You'll do better at a pharmaceutical lab or medical lab, but it's not worth the stress.  University labs are soooooo much more relaxed, but pay less.

East coast fl...I am a Surgical Tech but my aunt is head of the Radiography department. X-ray techs are a vital part of the healthcare industry. It is a reliable and growing field. Ask a local hospital if you can do a "shadow" of the department. Tell them you are going to be entering the program and would like to see how and what is envolved. You can also specialize in areas such as ultra sound tech to. YOu can do both and be more valuable. Try payscale.com for pay. Realize though that you have to consider the type of place, Hospital, or private practice, and many times you can get job placement through school. I hope that you really check on this it is a great area of healthcare.

It depends on where you live, how high you place in your class, and how busy the doctor's office is. A ballpark would be $25,000-30,000 a year, right out of school, and up to $40,000-45,000 a year once you gain maybe 5 years experience and get your certifications.  \n\nFor what it's worth, this is a pretty good career choice (unlike massage therapy, culinary arts and many of the other courses you see advertised on TV) because it is fairly easy to get a job with decent pay; you usually get benefits even in your first job; and the demand is strong.
