Chinese (oriental) medicine
Duties and responsibilities: Oriental medicine practitioners use forms
of acupuncture and treatment through the Chinese concept of “qi,” which means
energy. Oriental medicine treats a variety of ailments including headaches,
back pain, arthritis, or other illnesses by identifying patterns of imbalance
within a body’s energy levels and working to readjust fluids or tissues in
order to keep the body in balance and relieve pain.
Salary: $61,000 per year
Education:
Education and training requirements vary state to state for becoming an
oriental medicine practitioner. Some practitioners are licensed to be a
physician’s assistant and then take classes to become certified in oriental
medicine. Most practitioners earn a Bachelor’s degree in biology or another
medical related field, then go on to fill state requirements for practicing
oriental medicine.

reflection: I wouldn't want to be one because to me it seems like a boring career, and they make a little bit of money per year.
