Definitely a daunting undertaking when you look at it from the starting line. Parker University is currently $13,000 per trimester just for tuition and class fees. There are 10 of those. You are then expected to spend another $13,000-$14,500 for books, living expenses, food, etc… per trimester. So you’re looking at about $27,000-$28,500 per trimester…times 10. So about $277,000 to become a DC. I’m also married with three kids. The advisors will tell you that you can’t realistically work during this time because school takes about 40-60 hours per week. Then to think you’re going to come out and make maybe $60-$80k if you land a good job. Then you decide to open your own practice….here comes another $300-$450k to get a building and medical equipment. So now you’re looking at around $650-$750k in debt you’re paying off. Say you get to where you’re making $100k a year. You can expect a fat portion of your monthly income to go back to that debit you owe that’s gaining with interest. Say you pay $20,000 a year back towards your school and business loans…you’ll be doing that for 35-40 years at that rate. But hey…you’re doing what you love and you are your own boss.
If you've taken the pre-health classes, but don't have the grades for MD/DO/DDS, but have above a 3.0 gpa, consider podiatry school. Lower gpa required, but you're still a "real doctor" who does surgery, prescribes meds, and makes patients feel better with treatments that are objectively proven through peer-reviewed science to work.
I agree with your frustration Courtney. I am ending 4th quarter and about to start 5th quarter at life. It angers me that some of the classes we take during the program are repeats in a way from undergrad. I feel that it is necessary for a refresher but not worth an entire course. I am aware the program is set up this way because there are students coming in from all different kinds of majors; however, for those students who have a background in all the science already there should be exemptions available. That's just my opinion of course.
Green books!!! Meadowlands experience by dr Sid Williams lasting purpose by dr sid Williams . Wake up humans by dr Steve judson as well as atlas adjusted by Steve judson.
In just a few days I'll know if I'm accepted at Life University. I'm soo excited about it. I've watched most of your videos. Very helpful and very informative. Could you possibly make a video on housing at Life University? I'll be moving from a different state, I also have a child and housing is a big question in my mind. Also schools for kids... I know you don't have kids but maybe you have colleagues who have kids? Any info is greatly appreciated! Thank you for all you do!
Hey Courtney, I am currently working towards a B.S in Health Sciences, but I am also active duty military so I can’t really get any observation hours or anything like that that involves chiropractic hours. What are some books you use that you would recommend to me to start studying that would really help me out until I can start applying to and attending school? Thanks in advance!
Here is the only requirement: if your check clears your're in.

I’m planning on going to Life in a couple of years, and you answered a lot of my questions. Thank you!

how long does it take to pay off your student loans?
How has life been after graduation?
What’s the pay like vs the debt load?
Had you started your own business yet?
I understand your concern, but just because you are accepted doesn’t mean you have what it takes to graduate.
Youll get in as long as you have a pulse.
Chop chop get straight to the point
I wanted to always to be dentist or wanted to be a chiropractor
love these videos! super motivating and looking heavily into Chiropractic! hope all is well!
Thank you so much dear, can you please talk about for international students.
What’s your POV on Life vs Palmer ?
Hello I love your videos! I was wondering if you can please do a video more about the LIFE dual credit program! I appreciate it
Hey
For a beginner trying to break into the chiropractor field, what books should I read.
Green books!!! Meadowlands experience by dr Sid Williams lasting purpose by dr sid Williams .
Wake up humans by dr Steve judson as well as atlas adjusted by Steve judson.
Is it worth it ?

Have you graduated yet?
I'm currently applying to LIFE for their undergrad program
Did you apply straight out of high school?
I real love these videos! Looking into LWCC
Hey Courtney,
I am currently working towards a B.S in Health Sciences, but I am also active duty military so I can’t really get any observation hours or anything like that that involves chiropractic hours. What are some books you use that you would recommend to me to start studying that would really help me out until I can start applying to and attending school? Thanks in advance!
Chiropractor is absolute quackery. Hopefully you can make enough money to pay back your loans, then get out of the field.
Please make a video about the board exams
🤝😊
I like Courtney
Fog a mirror…you are in
Courtney, sit down... oh you are sitting... I got some bad news for ya. Its a scam , all of it . Sorry to be the one to break it to you .
