Hi Dr. Russ this was such a complete breakdown. I’m a software engineer so completely different but I’m always fascinated to learn about other career paths. I wish people went in depth as much as you did for every profession!

@marisolpena777 Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing Dr. Russ, I'm a 46 year old, that's worked in software for the better part of my career. I've been through nursing school in 2010, however never had the opportunity to finish, due to child rearing. Now my adult kids are in college. And I've been accepted to Palmer. I attempted to start in the Spring, but chickened out and was a bit intimidated by how young my cohort was. Starting at this age scares me, but I'm finding ways to push through and go past my fears. I totally agree when you mentioned "How am I going to get through Neuroanatomy?". Still on the fence, if I should return. But my heart is calling for something different!

I am interested in being a chiropractor because I want to give hands-on support to people suffering from injuries, looking to release tension and live an overall better life with the help of this practice.

I hope you find a way to achieve this! We need all the help we can get.

Thank you dr. Russ for this video! I am 33 yrs old and have been a massage therapist for 4 years. Im thinking about going back to school to become a chiropractor and should take me 6 years. Im just concern about the amount of debt and less working years to pay back my loan compare to people who graduated in their twenties. Do you have any advice?

@DrRussInYourPocket 2 месяца назад

Do you have all of your prerequisites done? If not, going back to school even part time to get them done would be a good way to measure your enthusiasm. You are right that starting later does put you on the back foot financially but not necessarily a deal breaker. Do you know the numbers yet? Cost and loan amount and repayment schedule? What your monthly repayment would be? For me having that firm data would be so helpful to making the decision.

Reality Check---The average income for a chiropractor ( $ 78,000 is not worth the blood, sweat or tears).. After the basic 4 year for your Pre Med bachelor's degree, you get to suffer through 4 more years of No Income while acquiring Big Time Debt. I am a retired optometrist and I share this with perspective optometry students. Optometrists make $ 145,000 on average and it is also not worth the blood, sweat or tears in this profession either. You might be young and idealistic at this point, but later in life you will want a standard of living commiserate with your schooling. I just thought I should share my thoughts. "Do well in Life and then Do Good. "

Hi Doc, Any new patient videos coming soon?

@DrRussInYourPocket 2 месяца назад

Yes, but it’s going to be a couple of weeks I’m afraid. I hope you can wait! Meanwhile we’ve got some good old classics in the list. Be well!!

I would say no.

Hello Dr Russ, how difficult would it be to transition from nursing to being a chiropractor? Especially being over 40yrs old?

@DrRussInYourPocket Месяц назад

Hello! I think it would be challenging in some ways, just as any big transition at that age can be. However in terms of patient care, chiropractic is not any more difficult than nursing. I would say easier than many nursing specialties, and very rewarding personally and you get to see folks getting better quickly. I wonder if you would be able to transfer any of your nursing education credits to a chiro school?

If you took out loans, how long did it take you to pay them off?

@DrRussInYourPocket 8 дней назад

Twelve years, and I took jobs teaching at massage and naturopathic schools in order to help, and at the end I was able to pay a lump sum due to money I received from a relative.
