Tip of the day. Don't go to chiropractic school

Ohh wow. This sounds bad

Whatever you are, be a good one.

I knew a guy who went to medical school a year after graduating from chiropractic school. Do that, then pray the income

When do we get income based repayments on other loans we can't afford?

Thunder Buddy

1/20/17 6:25pm

It's a messed up system for sure. Government backing student loans meant schools could inflate tuition and other costs

Slim

Truth, it has hit dental students bad.

POLISHcoug

1/20/17 6:37pm

Even worse than that, the policy encourages students to NOT pay off their loans

Income as a physician would never qualify for loan forgiveness.

Superman21

1/20/17 6:36pm

This is not correct. There is loan forgiveness available for physicians after they make 120 qualifying payments

Slim

1/20/17 6:46pm

You are correct. My bad.

Superman21

1/20/17 6:56pm

(1) There is indeed loan forgiveness for physicians (2) Working in a rural place

They couldn't get in.

All of the alternatives you just provided are a better career than chiropractor.

cougfanz

I get that, but why would drop a similar amount of coin for such a crappy income

Not the ones I know

Let's go ahead and end this discussion before it begins. Don't go down that path

Don't remember the last time a doctor helped me with anything.

Good news is most states have a form you can fill out in which you can specify that EMTs never transport you to the

All people do is get fat, hurt themselves, and then expect someone to give them

BYU-Texas

Why the animosity for doctors? Are you a chiropractor?

Harrison0Yfan

1/20/17 10:31pm

I literally worked 32 hours straight yesterday/today

SJS

You're wrong. You *definitely* gave them the trazodone.

The chiros I know are busy and seem like they make good money

TNT

ah yes, 10% make 90% of the $$. I've never been to a chiro once. and never will

I have been to several. I don't trust them now and won't go to another.

Jericho

I was in jury selection once in a personal injury trial involving chiropractic

Tricky

1/20/17 6:32pm

I say that as someone who has gone to a chiropractor and who would go again

Tricky

1/20/17 6:40pm

I agree with that. I know of people with back issues who have been helped

Jericho

My family goes to one that's done the things necessary to help them feel better

I went to magician school and am having the same problem.

You're doing it wrong if you aren't boosting your income with an essential oils

Yep. Just needs to get more referral agreements with PI attorneys. But make sure
