momofkhm Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 DD just last week said something about being interested in being a chiropractor. So I suggested she go talk to my chiropractor about stuff. Ask him questions. (Maybe if she is still interested, she can shadow him for a day.) She has a list but what are the ones you would suggest. The ones she has (as I remember them): where did he go to school? what was his undergrad degree in? (I'm pretty sure it's a doctorate, right?) how long did school take? did he go into practice himself first or start with someone? starting salary? There may have been one more, but I can't remember. What else would you ask? She did ask me if there were other things. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I would have her do a bit of research beforehand - education and starting salaries are something that you can find on the internet (and the salary question is not one I would want my child to ask a stranger). Instead, I would ask lots of questions that can not be looked up: what is his favorite part of the job? why did he choose to become a chiropractor? Which part of his job responsibilities does he dislike? (there will be something in every job) if he had a daughter, would he encourage her to follow this kind of career? If no, why not?

Teachin'Mine Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 How is most of your day spent? How much paperwork is involved? What other careers would you recommend? Were you well prepared for your classes? What would you suggest a high school student do to prepare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda in MA Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Does he feel that this job affords him enough time with his family? Does he find it personally fulfilling, and if so, why? Would he take this same career path again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
