No, a person does not have to be an attorney to hold a POA.

I would advise you to seek the services of an qualified attorney in your area before you sign a POA, so that its full effects can be explained to you.

POAs can be very expansive or can be limited for a particular purpose. You need to be aware of what you are signing before you turn over the power.
