The ad w; -- for masseuses, full or part-time at a generous salary. The phrase "no ex perience necessary" should have tipped me off. I give a better than average massage and have earned money as a licensed masseuse here in Columbia. Last year it became illegal for women to massage men for money in South Carolina.
