Hello,
I'm writing because I have been wanting to study Chinese Medicine for a few years now and have been daunted by the price tag that comes with it. I have accepted a place at a school in CA to begin this coming Fall, but am still really nervous about the debt I will acquire.
I just bought the book, Making Acupuncture Pay, and started reading it. I wonder if you would say that a successful practice in attainable when a practitioner would be beginning with a significant amount of debt? Someone told me that if I can't come out with less than 50K than I should choose another profession. I can't see how there is any way that I would come out of school with less than that in loans. I'm looking at more between 80 and 100K for a four year Masters, and this only because my parents have agreed to help me.
Is it doable? Or is it financial suicide? I would appreciate thoughts and advice.
Thank you, Hannah W |
