Spa Therapist Salary in USA & Italy: A Comparative Analysis

Question
Dear Michael,

I have been working as massage therapist in 5 star hotel in Bangkok, Thailand for 1 year and 3 years as Thai massage therapist.

Right now there are 2 business owners from 2 countries contact me for working in their country.

First from Italy, the conditions is 1 years for working permit& visa, air fare, plus free accommodation & food.    The offer is 700 uro/mth.

Second from USA, same conditons but the offer is 650 US/mth.

I don't sure whether there are the fare-conditions.  If they aren't, how much should I require?, or there is any spa recruited firm who I should contact?  Thank you so much for your time.

Regards,
Jittripon


Answer
Thank you for your questions, jittripon.

Unfortunately your question regarding massage employment in Italy is beyond my knowledge and expertise.  In regards to USA, you should make that determination based on your own personal needs to live on monthly.  Regarding a spa recruitment firm, I only am aware of one called Steiner that recruits for the cruise ships which is VERY HARD work.  Also by just checking Google.com I found http://www.spa-jobs.com/ for spa jobs around the world.

Hope that helps.
Michael, LMT
