Question
My name is Ian and I was hoping you could spare a few minutes of your busy life to help me out. I am of 25 years of age and currently working for a family business. I am very interested in studying Chiropractic and making it my future career. Trouble is that I wouldn't know where or how to begin since I've been out of the schooling scene for quite some time now. Could you possibly give me a brief pep-talk on becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic and how your life as a Chiropractor is? Are there any such offices that might have volunteer work ? Do you work long hours? What classes do you recommend taking in college? What schools and programs did you take? Any Tips are greatly appreciated! I Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

Answer
Hello Ian,

   Call Nortwestern Health Science University, the chiropractic college in Minnesota.  You can find their number online.  They will give you all the information you need and maybe locate a school close to you that you could visit.  There are a lot of offices that will let you volunteer, find one that works well with your personal goals.

Hope all goes well!
