What is a better career to get into, massage therapy or personal training?

Whats the salary difference?
What is more in demand?
What is more interesting?
If you are either a massager therapist or a personal trainer please give me your personal experience.

I am not a message therapist or personal trainer but I do have experience in not knowing which career field is right for me. I think you need to determine what is the most important thing you want to get out of your career, is it job satisfaction or a high income? Once you figure that out, you can go from there. As for demand and salary, you can check out indeed.com for salary comparisons and bls.gov for government information about demand, salary based on level, and growth statistics. Hope this will hep you to make your decision.
