Best Bang for your "Barefoot" Buck


 I love watching an HGTV show "Best Bang for your Buck" where there are 3 home owners doing renovations and after the renovation, experts determine the value of each home, dramatically revealing whose remodeling choices were good investment decisions.  As massage therapists in today’s difficult economy, we are all looking for required CE courses that will give us the best bang for our hard earned buck!  Just this year, I scrambled at the last minute to find a few more CEs to fulfill my state licensure requirement. Not caring what it was really, I found one online for a whopping $65, reviewing the anatomy of the SI joint.  My basic requirement was that it was cheap.  That works for me sometimes. 
As an Ashiatsu instructor I find most of my students do not just stumble upon our class but come specifically to learn barefoot massage.  Being that our course is 24 hours, 3 days and costs $670, it tends to weed out the casual massage therapists just looking for quick, cheap and easy CE classes.
 Sometimes cheap and easy is not always the way to go.  Our course is not short, nor is it easy and it is definitely not cheap but long after the last day of class is over, your $670 investment is still increasing in value.  Sometimes you get what you pay for and just sometimes you get more.  That’s a lot of bang!
