We are all looking for a better life, and a new career is often the answer. Holistic health care is one of the fastest growing segments in health care, offering you the opportunity to help others while helping yourself.
At New York College of Health Professions, a leader in holistic health educa-tion and care for more than 30 years, an individual can earn an accredited under-graduate or graduate degree in as little as two years. Often, people are deterred from following their new path because of anticipated cost, but financial aid is often readily available for those who qualify.
The future of health care has a new focus on wellness, and massage therapy and acupuncture are two career paths that people can take to be a part of it. The career trajectory of a massage therapist or acupuncturist is vast. It can be defined as helping others achieve maximum wellness. Massage therapists and acupunctur-ists can be found working at resorts, spas, cruise ships and medical centers around the world. As a licensed massage therapist or acupuncturist, you can also start your own business, your own clinics, work your own hours and even have others work for you while you grow your practice.
The market for holistic health care is growing at a rapid pace. Experts predict that in the coming years with the population growing older, there will be even more need for healthcare providers. Bloomberg Businessweek rated massage ther-apy as its number one career choice for 2011. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment as a massage therapist growing by 23 percent in the period of 2012 to 2022, faster than most professions.
