Hey Veena,

It depends on how your learn, how good a doctor you will become and how well you use opportunities.

You will have to think about – when you become an Ayurveda doctor after 5 and half years of study, can you have the caliber of opening your own clinic and serving the patients.

If you want to go to teaching career in Ayurveda, currently most of the lecturer posts in almost all the colleges are filled up, over that, you will have to post graduation in Ayurveda (another 3 years) to be qualified for a lecturer post.

Another point of view is –

When you compare salary of a post graduate degree candidate of other medical fields vs salary of a newbie Ayurveda doctor, the salary of the post graduate candidate of other field will obviously have more salary.

So, I would suggest you to think within yourself – whether you really know about herbs, herbal medicines, natural way of living.

If you think you can become a really good Ayurvedic doctor, then you can build up your own scope.

Please have a talk with your parents. May be, visit an Ayurveda college near you and talk to the students. You will start getting some ideas.

Hope this helps.

All the best!!
