You will not graduate and find yourself a junior partner in a medical group. You will graduate and most likely practice alone or work as an indentured servant to someone else in the medical market.
Most acupuncture clinics operate part-time, with people throwing away 60-100K on a degree that can't generate anywhere near the type of return it takes to pay off those student loans. It's agonizing to see my fellow acupuncturists going back to the jobs they had before matriculating - just trying to pay off the bills.
People criticize allopathic or Western Medicine for being too business oriented. That's fair to say, but you have to have the same critical light and say there is not enough business in the world of acupuncture (in the USA, where I practice).
I made my peace with it all by finding great masters to study with (most are from Taiwan and never had to compete with anyone because the government picks up the tab, they can't relate) and people who understand business. The two must combine effectively to be viable option for young people entering the profession.
To answer your question, get the international business degree then go for the acupuncture degree.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
