Craniosacral Therapy

Duties and Responsibilities:
Healing practice that is used to balance the craniosacral systems of the body.

Salary:
The average salary is $45,000-75,000

Education:
Most states will require you to have a “license to touch” in order to practice craniosacral therapy. This may include massage therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy or other medical background.


Reflection:
I've never even heard of this career in my life but it sounds more of a gamble than anything. I wouldn't want to be self-employed even if it might benefit me in the long-run and from what I understand, some of these people are self-employed. I'd feel a lot more secure if I had a stable career in an established facility.

Student Success Statement

"Be cool in school -- live every rule."
-Mr.Haymore

Reflection:
Mr.Haymore's notion of what teenagers consider cool in school (i.e. getting drunk, ditching school) is in truth, a huge misconception. The examples he brought up weren't people trying to be cool, they were just a bunch of idiots with no futures. I'm fine with following rules as long as they don't challenge my ideals. Being "cool in school" doesn't necessarily mean for me that I'm going to follow every rule- I know I've broken several rules already. But if being cool in school means caring about my future and taking what I learn seriously, I'm already there.

Student Success Statement

"The best recreation is to do good."

-William Penn

Reflection:
I don't know too much about this quote. There are so many ways I could argue against it. What if doing something you love is considered wrong? What if your definition of good contrasts with everyone's common belief? I don't really know how to explain my reasoning, but I just know that nothing William Penn says (or anyone else advocating "good") usually has any consistency as far as I'm concerned.

Student Success Statement

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."
 
-William Penn
Reflection:
I agree with this quote. And this is the reason I've always strongly opposed the idea of obedience: if authority tells you it's right, but you know it's wrong, that doesn't make it right. In fact, the idea that my computer teacher brings up this quote for me to reflect on, contradicts all of his past quotes presented to the class. And it is one that, I definitely will agree with.
