Acupuncture
Duties and Responsibilities:
Acupuncture is a therapy based on the theory that the body
depends on energy, known as qi or being in balance. If there is pain or
illness, acupuncturists see this as a sign that the body is out of balance. To
fix this they insert needles into acupuncture points, which restore the flow of
qi to then trigger the body's natural healing process. The sessions usually
depend on the problem or illness the patient has.
Salary: A median annual salary of $73,400.
Education: To become an acupuncturist you need to have a Master’s degree
in acupuncture (3 years) or in Oriental medicine (4 years).
Demand for This
Profession: Currently the demand is increasing for acupuncture.
Reflection: I wouldn’t become a Acupuncture because its to much time I’d
rather study less for a career in which I will make a higher amount of salary a
year .
