This role is not just about relaxation; it's about transforming lives through the art and science of scent, offering a therapeutic touch that resonates deeply with clients seeking balance in their busy lives.
This job holds up well against AI
AI cannot yet do much of what this job actually involves, and the work is hands-on, in the real world. Software alone can't do it. That is about as safe as careers get right now, though it is still worth learning to use the tools well.
