 ave age of massage therapists

There are no requirements other than having a high school diploma. You don't have to have any certain average- just pass.

That being said the average age of people in the massage profession is 45.

While I can't tell you to now pursue a career in massage there is much more to it than just doing massage. You have to be mature enough to deal with people in pain and run a business.
You have to learn college level anatomy and physiology. You have to be able to do enough math and accounting to run a business profitably.

Most jobs only pay $15-$20 an hour. Jobs that pay more require experience.
