I attended FMU from 2006 through 2007. Upon enrollment for Massage Therapy I was informed by the admissions person that the field was in very high demand. I was also informed that upon completion of the course and state license, that I would be making a minimum of $60/hr. As well as, if I excelled, that I would be one of the ones to get a career established with ease. I graduated within the course rcommendations and passed the state board exam. Once I was done, I returned to the school as instructed, presenting my test results. They had me sign a document that said I was not needing any assistance with job placement, told me if I didn't i would not receive my certification.

I followed as instructed, afterall I was expecting to get a job with no trouble and a high paying one at that. When I did look for work in the field after receiving my license, there was nothing with that high a pay rate. Most places that offered Massage would only pay minimum wages. A couple places said that I could rent a room. However, I had to be responsible for my own clients. The cost of the room was upfront and due weekly. I couldn't afford the rates some were $150 a week up to $300. Even with the test scores I could not find a suitable career in the field. Now I have student loans I cannot pay back because I relied on thier statements on enrollment into thier school. I've been struggling with this problem for a long time and only recently learned that I was not the only one who was lied to.
