• Reflection: There is without an argument, that I do not fit within the description of this career job. In order to be a reflexologist, i must be able to be comfortable working with feet & phalanges and i myself, am not even comfortable with my own two feet. I believe the job itself is a bit bizarre as well since natural healing and massaging is supposed to be the best medicine of relaxation. Given that these parents work only with feet, they make a very fair and good amount of salary annually that i am even shocked to know about.
