@genikki ok thanks, and how is brazils economy? because here in the US we have alot of inflation and may face a depression. i know brazil has alot of poverty but do you think the economy will face a depression one day?

[genikki]

@eltotoloco69 Hey. Well, there are professionals that earn that much. Its not possible to estimate how much you'd, because, like a said, many work as freelancers and depends on the clients.

But you friend may know better, because she is in the business

[eltotoloco69]

@genikki alright thanks alot, thats strange.. my other friend who lives in brazil said she has a friend who maked about R$ 2500 a month, then again he is in the clinical massage therapy field, im studying that same field aswell

[genikki]

@eltotoloco69 hello there. Sorry for the late reply, but I was able to do a little research, talk to some friends, and turns out that there is not a specific amount that you can earn per month.

If you work in a company you can earn around R$ 1000 (around 562,97). As a freelance you can earn more. But it all depends in how many clients do you have, of course. You have to see how much you will charge per session.

@genikki thats cool, i might be visiting sao pualo but im not sure yet. do you know how much a massage therapist makes each month? because im trying to findout so i can plan my future if i move there

[genikki]

@eltotoloco69 Balneário it's a great place, beautiful sights. I think you've made a good decision. I don't know much from outside São Paulo, were I always lived. But if I live elsewhere in Brazil, I would probably go to the South. The North is too hot.

[eltotoloco69]

@genikki im learning basic portuguese its pretty hard but practice makes perfect. i was thinking maybe balneario camburio because the cost of living there is so much less than rio or sao pualo. let em know if you have any better suggestions on cities to live in. i just wanna be near the beach though and not in a favela.

[genikki]

@eltotoloco69 but where do you want to live? And do you have any knowledge of the language?

[eltotoloco69]

@genikki thats what i was actually thinking of doing, i wanna work there as a clinical massage therapist
