Sometimes we realize that although we love the work we do, there needs to be some sort of change. This change can be for the betterment of ourselves, our families, or even the people we work with. Debra Bebell knew something was missing in her field. After working as a critical care nurse for more than 25 years, she decided to extend her knowledge and do something where she could really help her patients even more than she had before. She enrolled in a three-year program in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Similarly, Tess Hahn found that after working for years in nursing and recommending acupuncture for patients as a last resort, she wanted to be the one to give this successful treatment to patients. She enrolled in an acupuncture college, completed her degree, and worked in China to experience firsthand Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has been working in acupuncture since 1981 and continues to learn, with her latest endeavor being understanding acupuncture for cosmetic restoration.

Acupuncture is a very intricate, yet interesting career. It’s becoming more popular as the years go on and holistic and natural remedies become more mainstream, which means a positive job outlook and lucrative possibilities, especially for those with acupuncture degrees. There are many places to pursue a degree in acupuncture. Some important points to consider, include flexibility, location, cost, and length of program.
Still not sure if this is the right career for you? Well, researching the acupuncture career as well as talking to acupuncturists is key. A while back I interviewed an acupuncturist who had become very successful in her own practice. By taking a personal issue, her interests in working with others, and her business savvy, she was able to go into a career that suited her both personally and professionally. Today she continues to flourish in New York City, but not without working extremely hard.
