Chiropractor

Duties and Responsibilities: Chiropractors are health care providers who work with patients dealing with problems related to bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons. They usually work either in private practice or in health care clinics or facilities. A chiropractic must have a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, which usually takes four years to complete. The median annual salary for chiropractors in 2011 was $66,060, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

1.     Salary: For example the median expected annual pay for a typical Chiropractorin the United States is $134,190 so 50% of the people who perform the job of Chiropractor in the United Sates are expected to make less than $134,190.

Education: Like other primary health care doctors, chiropractic students spend a significant portion of their curriculum studying clinical subjects related to evaluating and caring for patients. Typically, as part of their professional training, they must complete a minimum of a one-year clinical-based program dealing with actual patient care. In total, the curriculum includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience. The course of study is approved by an accrediting agency which is fully recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This has been the case for more than 25 years. 

Reflection: I wouldn't want to be a chiropactor because it seems like to much hard work.
