Acupuncture

Duties and responsibilities: A health practitioner who focuses on improving overall wellbeing. It is an ancient Chinese therapy in which body depends on life energy. Acupuncture corrects imbalances in the body by inserting fine needles into acupuncture points.

Salary: 75,000

Education: To be an acupuncturist you need a bachelor’s degree and a solid science background. You can take programs like The Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine to get a master’s degree in acupuncture, these programs take about 2-3 years to complete.

Reflection: I would not like to be an acupuncturist because you really need to have a science background and I don’t really like science. It’s kind of cool that they can heal someone with needles but personally I dislike needled and are afraid of them. Also I think it would be hard to learn how to use the needles.
