OK,沒問題，只顧著看英文，卻沒想到幫您開權限，您是在美國教書的教授嗎？竟然用英文寫文章，太強了。

Sorry I did not reply earlier, but I did try but somehow the screen jumped back to the head of this site several times so I gave up.

I was in Ph. D. program of Religion Study before, but I found out I did not want to be a professor who guesses about religion without real understanding, so I changed track to Chinese acupuncture.

太好了，我也對針灸很有興趣，您現在是在美國執業的針灸師嗎？在美國要執業，不是也要讀上三年的中醫學院嗎？

Yes, I just got in half a year in a three-year program.
I want to thank you again for your website which offers a lot of helps and information, and make the practice so interesting for friends of Zifagong. :boy1 :girl1

我才要感謝大家願意來此留言，本來我練自發功練得很寂寞，現在不會了。

請問您在美國唸針灸，學費貴嗎？唸完之後，考上執照的機率有多高呢？考上之後，找到工作的機率有多高？如何處理移民問題？

我也有點想要到美國去開開眼界說...

Tuition is not too expensive, about $4500 a term, but one has to study in the summer, too.
License is not difficult if your English is alright, and passing rate is about 70%~80%.
Job is a problem, because it is usually not included in the insurance system and many Americans do not want to pay extra money for acupuncture, but more and more people are willing to try alternative medicine for chronic diseases which is the weak point of Western medicine now, and the market is new and big.

Did you see my message asking help for my wife?

簡訊回了

這樣說來，一個學期大約15萬多台幣，暑假也要唸？那豈非要唸9個學期囉？還是暑假包含在一年兩個學期之內？

您學的是針灸，拿到執照之後，可以立即執業嗎？還是要靠行？如果沒有綠卡，如何在美國工作呢？

The Summer term has to be paid seperately, but the third year basically is for internship, unless you choose to study for the chinese Herbology degree.

After got license, one could start one's clinic if one is confident and skillful enough. If no Green Card, you might have to find an employer who could apply GC or working visa (H visa) for you.
