What the... Noriyuki doesn't really need to worry about studying... or about money. AT ALL. Excellent massage skills is a goldmine. True, it's a service industry, which means your weekends are shot if you want to get the most clients, and your income is limited by how many clients you can serve. But, other than that, you're set. What you charge depends on what kind of clients you're able to attract. If you got the skills and can secure their loyalty, they'll follow you to any shop you work in, so your boss better pay you good money. You can even set up your own shop if you want. No, you probably won't be a millionaire, but a good, comfortable life is almost assured.
