Maybe your mum doesn't want you working in a massage parlour.

There's a difference?
Sorry, my view is it's not a transferable skill, if you decide five years down the line that you want to become a rocket scientist you're screwed. Of course if in five years you're still loving it then who cares?

Why do you have to do the course in America?
Anyway, getting qualified as a Masseur (or Massage therapist/sports therapist if you would like a more respectable sounding label for mum) only takes 9 months or so and that's doing it in the evenings/part-time. Doing this doesn't mean having to give up uni. If you don't want to go to uni then tell her that but don't use "it's my lifelong dream to massage" as the excuse. Do the massage course in your gap year or something. I've got a degree as well as being qualified in massage - no reason why you can't do the same.
Got more work and made more money from my massage qualification btw - never used my bit of paper from uni in my life. Despite what people say about it not being a transferable skill - that's bollocks. It might not transfer to an office or bank but it's ace to work for yourself and nice to have a skill you can take abroad if you want to work and travel. It's a handy thing to know how to do generally even if you don't have a career for life out of it (how many people do stay in the same career for life these days though?)
