Places to go...things to learn...and an inability to make a choice

Right so as I'm sure you're all aware I want to be a massage therapist. I mean, maybe not for my whole life, but for at least a portion. At least while my husband is going to college and we need money or at any point in my life when an income is needed- maybe so I can go to college more who knows? The point is I want to be a massage therapist.

At this point in my life there are basically two places that I would go to, the fist being the Utah College of Massage Therapy in SLC and the second being the Moscow School of Massage in Moscow. If I went to UCMT I would be able to stay at home, keep my current job, plus the UCMT is the top-rated massage school in the nation. And I don't have to 18 when I start as long as I am when I finish.

The Moscow School of Massage is slightly more exclusive and I would be living with my sister Valerie and her husband Jacob. But to go there- at least according to their website- I have to be 18 just to start. And since they only start twice a year I would have to wait until March 2010 to start this. I mean, if there's anyway around that I'll find it, I'm planning on going to Moscow and talking to the people if I can.

But the point is which school? I mean I tend to lean towards Moscow but what if they don't accept me? Am I willing to wait that long to go to college-- I mean I'm dedicated and all, but if I wait that long I probably won't end up going...

And what about the money? Neither website is helpful in this regard, they just won't tell me how much the stinkin' school costs, it's like they're afraid that it will scare me away- really it would just be helpful.

Ah well, what to do what to do? I guess my meeting in Moscow will decide all that...
