On a Friday night in Cocoa, Florida, massage therapist Mike Bloom wears a meticulously starched and pressed uniform. He's capping a 40-hour week by inspecting a fireworks display at a large sporting event. When he's not doing massages, Bloom fights fires. "I'll be out of here at about 11:00 p.m., and then I've got a massage client at 8:00 a.m.," he says. His Saturday schedule will include two one- hour massages and two 90-minute sessions. Bloom rarely sits still, and one quickly gets the sense that inactivity isn't in his nature. In fact, he loves his schedule. "You never know what the day's going to bring. That's the great thing about my jobs: different people, different places, every day."
