The school I chose for my massage therapy education is Altierus Career College in Tigard, Oregon. Not only did their 9-month program catch my attention, but so did their promise to help with job placement after graduation. Yes, I will need a job after I graduate, but I will also be continuing my education in the pursuit of becoming an equine massage therapist. My love of horses and my desire to help people will spur me on toward my ultimate career goal of massaging horses and their riders.
