In some cases, it's totally legal; in most, any law will be enforced only if it looks commercial (signage, architectural style, excessive traffic/parking, or otherwise disruptive to a residential atmosphere). It is socially acceptable in most cases, as massage therapy in single private practice has traditionally been considered a "cottage industry". Some people who are unfamiliar with the industry may be creeped out, especially by male therapists, so it may help massage therapists working in residential areas to be clear that the offerred massage is always non-sexual.
As a male massage therapist, out of all the 1000+ people i have massage I have never been aroused because of touching a client. A real massage therapist keeps his focus on his work and not what the client looks like. But that does not mean that massage therapist don't get aroused during work, I'm pretty positive some do.
Yes if you get a license.
Yes! Many hospitals have employed Massage therapists, and as more evidence of healing touch comes out more and more will.
Massage therapy sessions at a client's home or office may cost more due to travel time for the massage therapist.
Depends in what state and how popular the PT is, and if you can take those clients and massage them at home as well. 34-50k

If you want to do massage therapy professionally you will need a license. There are different designations in different parts of the country and in different states. You may be a licensed massage therapist (LMT), a certified massage therapist (CMT), a licensed massage and bodywork therapist (LMBT), or just massage therapist.
There are many. Massage therapists work in gyms, acupuncture clinics, holistic health centers, spas, and massage franchises such as Massage Envy. One can also practice out of the home, or travel to homebound clients to provide health care services for them.
Most massage therapist I know dont work for a chiropractor, or a chiropractic clinic, but rather rent a room and work for themselves. Thus, the massage therapist charges his/her patients whatever they like (or whatever is reasonable/competitive) and will just pay a monthly rent fee to the owner of the clinic.
You can become a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) with 600 hrs of training at an approved school and then passing the NCETMB which is the National Certification Exam.
