Acupuncture

Duties and responsibilities:
Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body involving various methods such as penetration by thin needles or the application of heat, pressure, or laser light. Acupuncture aims to treat a range of conditions, though is most commonly used for pain relief.
Salary:  $79,000- $94,000
Education:
Most acupuncture and TCM training programs require students to have a bachelor's degree. There are around 50 of them in the United States, all of which offer certification in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (AOM), which is also known as TCM. Your coursework will require you to study acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Asian bodywork, though each college will have a different emphasis. Most schools take about 3-4 years to finish and you'll graduate with a master's degree in acupuncture or Oriental medicine.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
No I wouldn’t like to be one because I’m afraid of needles. Also I wouldn’t like to be one because I’m afraid I will messed up.
