Acupuncture

Duties and Responsibilities: Practitioners stimulate specific points on the body most often by inserting thing needles through the skin.  Acupuncture may help ease types of pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, knee pain. 

Salary:  $47,813

Education: Applicants to acupuncture programs should have an undergraduates degree; an associate’s degree is common, because a bachelor’s degree in acupuncture is not typically available.  An essay, a letter of recommendation and GRE scores are other common program requirements. The ideal candidate for the acupuncture training program should demonstrate excellent observation, communication and motor skills, be comfortable working independently and have compassion for others.

Reflection: I wouldn’t like to become one because I couldn’t imagine myself doing acupuncture and putting needles in someone’s skin isn’t something I would like to do.
