Acupuncturists take into account a patients physical, mental and emotional condition in order to determine the right treatment for the patient. Acupuncturists also help their patients achieve balance and wellness in their lives.

An Acupuncturist salary ranges up to $75,000 to $80,000 a year.

Education:

  Acupuncturists have a masters or a post- baccalaureate from schools by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Most of these programs require 1,500 to 2,000 hours of acupuncture training. (This is 3 to 4 years.)

I would not like to be an Acupuncturists because putting needles into people seems interesting but it takes 3 to 4 years and that is to long.
