Acupuncture

Duties and Responsibilities: Unlike conventional Western medical practice, acupuncture professionals are trained to treat the entire individual rather than the specific illness or condition. They take into account a patient's physical, mental and emotional condition in order to determine the proper course of treatment. In addition to providing acupuncture therapy, practitioners help their patients achieve balance and wellness in their everyday lives.

Salary: $41,000-$75,000

Education: In almost every school in the US, acupuncture studies begin at master’s level where students could opt for a major or concentration in acupuncture. A master’s degree program is 3 to 4 years which includes assessment procedures and therapeutic treatment of illnesses. The main focus is curriculum in on Western and Oriental medicines along with basic and advanced acupuncture treatment methods.

Reflection: I would NOT like to be one because it looks very boring.
