Professional and related occupations. Professional and related occupations will grow the fastest and add more new jobs than any other major occupational group. Over the 2004-14 period, a 21.2-percent increase in the number of professional and related jobs is projected, which translates into 6 million new jobs. Professional and related workers perform a wide variety of duties, and are employed throughout private industry and government. About three-quarters of the job growth will come from three groups of professional occupations—computer and mathematical occupations, healthcare practitioners and technical occupations, and education, training, and library occupations—which will add 4.5 million jobs combined.

possible things I could do in music:
private piano teacher
music school piano teacher (suzuki music school)
accompanist (background performer) not stable job though.

You know..I think music is fun, and it is something i should defintiely keep up, and explore, especially in jazz piano. But the jobs in music are not very $$, no security in terms of benefits health insurance.

unless, i do things like be a music director for a choir, school band, school play. But that has odd hours and it is stress!!

so bottom line..i would play it for fun and relaxation..and maybe perform on the side sometime with musician friends.

4 years of study with clinical
in naturopath universities that have research: bastyr, southwestern

**also, at UB where I go to school, I can also take courses in acupuncture and nutrition to be more rounded :)

job description from princeton review:
An N.D. may perform some inpatient procedures, such as minor surgery, manipulation, or hydrotherapy. They may prescribe homeopathic remedies and herbal medicines and refer patients to specialists as necessary. Some N.D.s work in specialized fields like obstetrics; others focus on specific naturopathic modalities that run the gamut from A to Z—from commonly accepted procedures such as acupuncture to less conventional practices like zero balancing, a massage-like technique designed to balance the body’s energies with its structural elements.

$$ – just starting up his or her practice, working part-time or building a staff, may earn between $20,000 to $30,000 per year. However, an N.D. who runs or partners in a large, busy practice makes an average estimated income of $80,000 to $90,000 per year

?how hard is it to start a practice?
?do schools offer fellowships/scholarships?

I talked to a student in naturopathy and she says many new naturopathic doctors start a practice with a chiropractor and acupuncture (these are institutes at UB). Also, there is a hospital in westport ct that has a holistic medicine department.

this is my one solid career path from bio that I don’t mind. i don’t htink i’m cut out for research..not interested in it. i want to do research if it is related with naturopathy though actually..if i get the chance.
