I read your post and I feel that it is never to late to accomplish what you want to do with your life. I know a couple of friend doctors who entered medical school at the age of 35 . It is never late if you have a good plan in your heart to do what you see yourself doing. Just make it happen , everyone makes mistake s in careers that they choose . I know that this mistake was huge because it involves your financial stability. However, there are ways you can get passed this situation. jUST THINK AND BE CREATIVE. IT WILL ALL WORK OUT.

LATER.

Oh, by the way, no financial remuneration was gained by writing this article. The only tie in this site has with a potential financial benefit is with student aid. We like to disclose that information to our readers.

The loan payment is 2,100 per month for 30 years. 9 months post graduation, I am waiting on a phone call to hopefully work at a medical clinic with an Occupational Therapist. All other offers I have received have been for no salary whatsoever.

Yes, I chose chiropractic because I had an extremely positive experience when I started being adjusted. It made me feel better but come to find out, some of the stuff my doctor told me was not true. Every person is subject to degeneration whether they receive adjustments or not. I was very young, not exactly educated and I believed the doctor.

At this point I am hoping to get my Master’s in Nursing. I have been accepted to two online BSN programs, but I am not able to pay the tuition. Maybe after I work a while I will be on the road to a respected profession. As it is, if I have time, I could do my Associate in Nursing for 5000 dollars and have an annual earning potential of 65,000. And be able to enter other specialties besides Musculoskeletal. Any thoughts or dreams of becoming a surgeon are down the tubes because of my age. But if I do get accepted to medical school, then I will contact the military for hopefully a scholarship to pay my tuition and then I know that I will be trained after graduation to be a doctor.

So another point, there is no training period after school.

And while you are at Parker expect to be treated poorly by the faculty as well as other students. I was called a b$tch on 5 occasion. As well as shoved and the Dean responded by taking me to a room, shutting the door and yelling at me as loud as he could that it just isn’t a problem and to quit asking me to expel the person harrassing me. So to graduate after this, my staff doctor rewarded the intern who kept calling me a name with transfer patients. I finally threatened the school with a lawsuit and only then did I receive 5 “welless patients” who like being adjusted so that I could graduate.

Career changers: Think Chiropractic….Yes, think about staying as far away from it as possible. Although a good education, you cannot make money unless you are a scam artist.
