You're not going to find much love here since most of the medical community sees chiropractice as quack medicine.
I've seen that you've gone from pre-health field to another pre-health field scoring poorly on every exam. Perhaps figure out your studying habits for exams in general before trying anything else? Any decent program in the health field will be rigorous. It doesn't get easier from here on out.
I don't know what chiros do, aside from pitching misinformation about vaccines and GMOs.
It really is odd. Two acquaintances from college became chiropractors, and their facebook posts the past few years are littered with anti-vaccine and anti-medicine/anti-science whacko propaganda.
Most chiropractors are trained killers.
Provide vascular neurologists with tragic cases apparently.
Coroner Says Chiropractic Manipulation Led To Playboy Model’s Death
I have seen this twice in residency so far. Vertebral artery dissection after neck manipulation.
Go be a nurse buddy. Don't become a chiropractor, do something that actually helps people without fleecing people of their money.
1) You heard correctly that the financial outlook is awful. Chiropractors are the single most likely profession to default on their student loans. Even if you went on a full ride scholarship the average salary is not much better than you would make managing a restaurant, about 30K. Like academia, Amway, and College football, chiropractic medicine is a profession where thousands are scammed for every person that succeeds.
2) The job is also awful. Chiropractors practice fake medicine. It does not work. The best case scenario for being a Chriopractor is that each year you successfully scam thousands of desperate, pain ridden people out of their savings in exchange for a treatment that does not work.
If you want to help people with musculoskeletal pain go into physical therapy. Or occupational therapy. Or work with Ortho as a nurse. Chiropractic medicine is a bad choice.

But without chiropractic treatment, their subluxations would have killed them years earlier.
Have any of you guys seen the YouTube channel SoCal Chiropractic? It's infuriating.

Why there isn't a forum for chiro in SDN? They are doctors just like MD/DO/OD/DDS/DMD... It appears like they can have hospital privileges in state like FL.
You're thinking of the Osteopathic forum.
C'mon now. Most of us don't advocate for more than a few of the techniques for really specific issues and even less will ever actually use it in practice. Let's not throw people who learn and practice actual medicine in with those that learn you can "cure" someone's diabetes through subluxation...
No problem. I am all for equal treatment...
Can't we just all unite behind our infinite disdain for NPs??
I was absolutely kidding. I don't actually feel this way about my DO colleagues (well, I have issues with their medical education process and also with OMM, but they're otherwise good folks).
