My dream job is to become an acupuncturist. At first glance, a student who is majoring in translation and interpretation would seem very far from becoming an acupuncturist and it would seem there is a long way to go. However, although I have to pursue another education in the oriental field that may take around six years, I am almost qualified for my job.
There are many skills that are necessary to attain in order to become an acupuncturist. First, I need good hand-eye coordination, steady hands, excellent communication skills, and a passion for working with people. Of the above skills, I have relatively good hand-eye coordination although I have to work on steady hands. Being an extrovert who is interested in psychology and majoring in translation and interpretation, I am actually at an advantage when it comes to having excellent communication skills, and a passion for working with people. Most acupuncture programs require students to have a bachelor's degree, but there are school that accept a variety of degrees in different fields. In addition, having majored in translation and interpretation, I am at an advantage in a crucial skill of understanding discomfort or concern my patients might be expressing.
I am slightly behind when it comes to certification requirements. After I graduate from this school, I am required to earn a doctor of medicine degree. In addition to that, I will have to apply to an accredited acupuncture college. After I graduate from the acupuncture college, I have to pass the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine exam to become certified and recognized as a licensed acupuncturist. Passing this test is necessary to practice Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine legally.
Once I pass the test and become an acupuncturist the rest is easy. I will work at the hospital that my dad owns with the skills he learned from my grandfather. Although I would have to develop meaningful relationships with your clients, this process would be easier than the people who have to start from scratch.
Although I may seem far behind just looking at the education that I have accomplished in order to become an acupuncturist, and the education I have left, I am actually qualified thanks to my background, and the education path that I chose. I am able to understand my clients, help my clients understand, and build an intimate relationship with my clients. Overall, I am qualified for my dream job, and if I take this path, I will be able to become successful in my dream job.
The remaining advantage I have is I do not have to worry about getting a job. My dad own’s a hospital, and I am planning on inheriting it when I become an acupuncturist. Our family on my dad’s side has been working in the medical field for four generations. My great grandfather is a doctor, my grandfather is an oriental doctor, my dad is also an oriental doctor, and my uncles are a psychiatrist, and a chiropractic therapist respectively. I will work at the hospital that my dad owns with the skills he learned from my grandfather. If I get a license for it, my uncles said they would be happy to teach their skills to me. Most of the patients in my dad’s hospital do not live near, and came all the way to receive treatment from him. It would be difficult to build this sort of relationship and credibility right away. However, I think this process would be easier than those who start from scratch.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I may seem far behind just looking at the education I have left, I am actually qualified thanks to my background, and my major. Through the studies I have accomplished so far, I am able to understand the problems my clients may be having, help my clients understand their current situation, and build an intimate relationship with my clients. In addition, I have a guaranteed future where I can further better myself easily learning the information that my family had to work to understand. Overall, I think I am qualified for my dream job.
