Question:

How many Acupuncturists are having trouble making it? What shoud you get your AS/BA in? Best place to study?

Please share your experience on your study path to become an Acupuncturist? Is it recommended to get your RN lic before you get into acupuncture, so that when you don't make money you can always go back to nursing and make up the loss?Where is the best place to study online for these fields?


Answers:

Getting started is really difficult. Surprise! A new small business is like that. You really have to be a multi-hat wearing individual because it isn't just hanging a sign up and having clients pour in. You have to learn to run a business, which they don't truly teach you how to do in school (probably because they are too busy teaching you to be an acupuncturist...).

Most acupuncturist I know, including myself, come from non-medical backgrounds. There isn't any great pre-acupuncture degree that spells success. Both I and my partner have fallen back on our prior experience and job history to financially support ourselves while our practice grows. The trick is perseverance and managing our costs while we do so.

When I think about any sort of medical field I don't think about online study. You need to go check out some schools and see if their location, and programs are right for you. Can you get the education you want/need, and afford to live where the school is located?
