A lot of negativity.
I follow this page and the vast majority of post from acupuncturist are just negative about everything. The schools are horrible, they can’t get patients, or make enough money. I believe there is a hard divide in our profession between the dedicated practitioners and those that paid for a certification. In my cohort we had 14 people graduate 4 of which were serious practitioners the rest coasted. The 4 that dedicated there life to this are in the solid 6 figure range 5 years out. The rest are still complaining about the myriad of reason for there own failures. If your market is saturated move, if you didn’t learn what you wanted continue to study, and if your not making enough money get on the grind. We are in the middle of a boom time for our profession especially those they are already graduated. The pool of subsequent acupuncturists will continue to get smaller as schools close and the demand is only going up. This profession is amazing the amount of doom and gloom about it makes me feel this page is all bots
