I am interested in going to a massage therapy school I am an esthetician and want to add massage to increase my income. I work at a resort in northern Michigan and they will lay me off for 4 months to go back to school to further my education…. I have found an accelerated program in coasta rica that takes 3 1/2 months. I cannot afford to take off more time than that and I haven’t found any other programs in the states that require less than 6 months. The closest school in my area is 3 hours away and takes 10 months. I can do the same hours in coasta rica school of massage in half the time Since they are an international school what are my options for student loans. I cannot do it without loan money. I have borrowed in the past for my esthetic program and I have made regular payments for three years. Could you please advise me what my options are for loans and or grants. Thank you
Brenda – you may see that your options are less as you look outside the contiguous United States. Please also take into account cost of housing / traveling vs cost of education locally and the opportunity cost of lost wages as the schooling is longer. Another thing to look out for is whether your Costa Rica credits will apply in the State you are interested in practicing in. Many variables here. Let us know what you are thinking, what you are leaning toward and why.
