Nick,
Because of your preparation, you will be able to handle the actual cases you will see in the real world while they fumble to figure it out...I feel sorry for their potential clients. I believe you get out what you put into it...with all your efforts - not only have you learned invaluable experience that you can take with you, you can also effectively treat those conditions with confidence. They will be fumbling through books or trying to remember while you will just recall what you've already experienced...they are only cheating themselves and unfortunately their potential clients! Hopefully it isn't somone who has never tried massage before...ugh!
Keep taking the high road... I know it will pay off in the end!
