Chiropractor Salary: Latest Wage and Compensation Trends in Your Area.

It's not necessarily how you make your money, regardless of the profession you choose, it's what you do with your money that will make the difference between living a life loaded with abundance versus living in poverty. The answer is yes. We have to get away from the "can" and hopefully address some of the "how" and the "why" or else none of this will make much sense.

Remember, a chiropractor can also make zero dollars per day, per week, and per year, so the "how much" question is really rather ambiguous. Let's get into a few basics.

Let's assume someone is reading this that has never been to a chiropractor before, is not aware of how many years of schooling are required to become a doctor of chiropractic, and for some reason thinks chiropractic could be a good career move for them. Remember I'm addressing three to four different groups of people here and the paragraph above addresses mainly those in group number one.

You're what I've been calling the MySpace group. There are people that have developed an interest in becoming a chiropractor because of stories they've read about Tiger Woods , Emmitt Smith , Candace Michelle , and many others receiving chiropractic care, and or married to chiropractors.

Stories are nice but my advice for a person in that group would be to get a lot more information before making such a move. Chiropractic schooling today takes longer than it has in the past.

Currently, a potential student can expect to be out of the workforce for up to seven or eight years while they are attending school.

Tuition for chiropractic education is not cheap. That's four years after you have had your three years or more of prerequisites fulfilled. You can call the process anything but fun although looking back on it I'd personally do it all again in a heartbeat. Federal student loans are available for chiropractic education but borrowing money means that you're expected to pay it back.

Also, interest rates on federal student loans have been going up these past few years which is going to result in an increased monthly payment for soon to be graduating students as well as new doctors in the field. The worst thing you can do is not have a clear understanding as to what you want to accomplish, borrow the maximum amount of loans, have no direction while in school, making no effort to succeed, go into financial loan default, file bankruptcy, and waste the rest of your life blaming someone else for your self created misery.

You'll become a drain on society, the educational system, the chiropractic profession, your friends, your family, and most of all, yourself.

Sending your child to the chiropractor: Be very careful

The longer I practice chiropractic the more I come to realize that only one thing stands in the way of my increasing success, that's me. I don't expect you to know that if you're an 18 year old kid, and it can be tremendously difficult to maintain that thinking while in school or just beginning your practice. That could be enough to scare someone straight into anything other than chiropractic as a career.

But then there's the flip side, the rub, the upside, or whatever you want to call it There's also other things besides money but they don't pay off your student loans.

However, what they may do is motivate you enough to drive in the direction of success. There is a part of my heart that is still a little kid with big dreams. I'm fortunate to live and practice where I do. You will not watch a major television program or view a summer blockbuster film without seeing someone that is receiving chiropractic care, often times by me. Contrary to what you see in the media, most people in the music and film industries at least those I've worked with are caring, hard-working, generous, and friendly individuals.

I am the most annoying guy to go to the movies with because I will elbow you the entire film actually, I've got better whispering adjusted him, adjusted her, look at that jump - adjusted her before she did that, adjusted them while this scene was being done. God forbid I am at the premiere. Money may be your driver, sports may be your driver, your kids may be your driver, your spouse, laying hands on presidential candidates, celebrities, newborn babies, whatever.

The point is to figure out what it is that motivates you, and move in that direction. I have not located any online statistics on the big earners in chiropractic as of yet. I have good reason to believe you won't find any reliable information either. I break bread with these folks regularly and income amongst the biggest of the big is rarely discussed. In nearly all cases, they'd rather talk about how many people they adjusted in the past week, how many new people attended their health orientation, how many pregnant moms they've been caring for who've just had babies, what their kids did recently in sports or school, what their last vacation was like.
