Answers:
You have to find out what is required in your state but most states are a minimum of 500. There are still a few unlicensed states too which means you don't have to go to school at all for it.
There are no prerequisites for going to massage school except graduating from high school. The average age of massage therapists is 45 so massage schools are geared toward teaching adults.
Most massage therapists start their own practice. You can get jobs but most don't pay well - only $15-25 an hour and you only get paid that when you have a client. You get paid mim. wage to clean etc. You can't usually work more than 25-30 hours a week because it is so physical.

Most states require 500 hrs to become licensed. That's about 6 months full time. A few require more or less. You would attend a massage school, pass a national test and you're good to go.Health Question & Answer
