http://www.clevelandchiropractic.edu/prospect/pros_tuition_kc.htm  Now that is only the amounts for this particular school. The best way to find any information about tuition or cost of attendance would be to contact the financial aid dept at your school.\n\nAs far as how many years it would take, that all depends on the degree program you go into, associates, bachelors, phD, etc.

It really depends on your goals and philosophy of health.  Chiropractors believe the power that created the body, heals the body.  They view your body as a whole, and think of you as a self healing organism.  They adjust the spine to free up the nervous systems of subluxations (fixation in your spine that may or may not be causing you the pains, but when present they interfere with your nervous system making you less healthy).  With a freely moving spine, your nervous system will function optimally and heal itself.  Neck pain, head aches, and pain are just symptoms, chiropractors treat the cause which is subluxation derived from fixations in the spine from trauma, stress, poor posture, and exposure to toxins.\n\nTo clear up the misconception of education, Chiropractors spend 3-4 years in Chiropractic college, and have a very similar curriculum as Medical Doctors.  Just replace the surgery and pharmaceutical classes with adjusting technique and nutrition classes.  In British Medical Journal May 2003, "Who pays for the pizza?", it is said that 60% of the medical research and 2/3rds of the medical institutions have economic ties to the pharmaceutical companies"  So although it may be longer, future doctors are being taught what Big Pharma wants, not what is always best for you.\n\nOnly 10-15 % of osteopaths practice manipulations, which means close to 80% will just write you a prescription for pain meds.  If you want to treat the symptoms and do not care about correcting the cause of your pain, then this may be a good solution for you.  \n\nWe are not genetically programmed to be sick, we are built to be well and thrive.  There are no drugs that will make you healthier.    Chiropractors study wellness, MD's and DO's study pathologies.  If you wanted to get rich, would you study a rich person or a poor person?  If you wanted to be happy, would you study a depressed person or a motivated upbeat person?  \n\nI hope this answers your questions and raises a few more for you to consider, feel free to e-mail with any others

I'm currently studying to be a chiropractor, so here's what I think might help.\n\nScience is extremely important in chiropractic education so try to take some basic science courses like biology, chemistry, and physics in high school. If you're really smart and can handle the load, you can take some AP classes to earn college credit for these classes (junior or senior year). I don't know what kind of school you go to (I came for a poor high school and we didn't have a lot of classes to choose from), but if your school offers more advanced biologies (human anatomy, cell biology, etc) try those too.\n\nSince you don't know exactly which career you'd like to choose, I'd suggest talking with a chiropractor/herbalist/massage therapist near you. I'm sure they wouldn't mind telling you the ups and downs of the business, the best colleges to attend, what to expect from the job, why they personally chose that career, etc etc. You might learn something you hadn't expected! Actually working in their office might be the best way to learn, but I think you might be too young for that just yet. Anyway, best of luck to you!!

There are 17 schools and colleges of optometry in the U.S.  These are 4-year programs for doctor of optometry (O.D.) degrees.  If you're interested in becoming an M.D., you'll have to do 4 years of medical school, then a residency in ophthalmology.  If you think it's something you're interested in, talk to your local eye doctor to see if you could chat and/or shadow him/her for a day.

You have to get a 4 year college degree, med degree (4 more years), and do residency.

For their educations, a doctor goes to college/university for four years to get a Bachelors degree, then to medical school for three years to get a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree.\n\nTo become a practicing physician, a person with an MD or DO must work as a resident for one year; this is on-the-job training.\n\nDuring the 7 years of school, the student pays to go to school.  During the one year of residency, the resident is paid for working.

nah you're still at a good age to start, the only time it'd be too late is if you're in a wheel chair or bed ridden dude.\n\nbut now is a good time to be figurin out a college to go to and get your secondary education out of the way.\n\nand the average cost varies from school to school or the organizations they're under, but like ninedemonsgod says it can be as little as $90 to $145 for classes.\n\n the biggest pitfall is making sure they don't try to hit you up with a 6 month (or longer) contract because that's a good indicator that it's a McDojo's type of school (a school that has a high turnout rate of students, or basically "gives" the students their belts as long as their payin the monthly fees.).\n\nanother thing you need to make sure that the school is a family oriented place, and that you're comfortable with the instructor(s)'s teaching mannerism.\n \nthere're plenty of people woh're in their 30's + that're studying Martial Arts. So yeah, you can start learning Martial Arts at your age.\n\ngood luck and good training

To be a computer software engineer you will need a BSc degree in computer science which takes about 4 years to complete. How much money you need will vary widely depending on what school and what country you go to. For example, MIT is going to be a lot more expensive that your local state university. If you go to another country you will have to pay international student tuition fees. I'm going to put a guess on $60,000 (that works out to about $5000 a semester). You can make it cheaper by completing the first two years at a 2 year college and transferring those credits to a 4 year college or university.

You need a college degre, which usually takes about 4 years.  You then go to medical school, which is another 4 years.  Then you have a residency, which varies depending on the program.  It can take 3-5 years.\nYou will need to take sciences classes to get into medical school.  Biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus are required by most medical schools.

Accounting...4 year degree and getting a CPA license.  A friend of mine did both and he makes alot of money.  Start by looking into what universities you like...you can also start at a community college if you want, get an associates degree in accounting and transfer to the 4-year university to finish the bachelor degree in that field.  Maybe go on to get an MBA at a business grad school.  That would be another 3 years, but the income jumps up with more education.

Some courses to start taking would be those in the science field. You'll absolutely need your basics: chemistry (both inorganic and organic), biology, and physics. Other than that, contact the chiropractic college you would like to attend and I'm sure they'll give you a list. \n\nBTW, if you get the basic biologies out of the way, I recommend taking an Anatomy and Physiology course EVEN IF they tell you you're going to have to take it in the Doctor or Chiropractic program (but only if you'll still get credit hours for taking the course). This way, you'll have some idea about human anatomy and will be a step ahead in the course. It worked for me.

http://ww.fastweb.com... used this service about 9 years ago when i went back to school at 28-30.  my BEST advice is pick a school (probably going to be close to you now?) and visit the financial aid office.  their job is to help you help them get money. they really have a lot of information from years of service.  other sources are any jobs, organizations, skills, past hobbies, etc - they can be very weird yet valuable criteria for some scholarships...YES IT IS TRUE ..there is a scholarship for a red-haired, left-handed golfer....i've seen it.  use the web. find a school. then start from there, know how much college costs before you start looking. communitie colleges are a GREAT VALUE for the first 2 years. best of luck. 3 peices of advice.  1. always sit in the front row. 2. be an active participant. 3. work in groups when possible, but if you cant - study, study, study.  and as my old man always said."Remember this son, you are paying them to teach you. YOU decide the value of your education." \nas a ps.the "foundation library" in any major city library will have alot of nonprofits listed that tell who and why people got grants from them, and you can use it as a reverse lookup....see who got the money and what you have to do to qualify......alot of money goes unclaimed, at that point the scholarship committee will usually accept ANY applicant (very very little known fact) so as to "spend" the money given to them.....even if you are a blond- haired, right-handed golfer......

4 years undergrad (currently around 50K)\n4 years of Med school (about 100,000K)\n\nThat's assuming you receive financial aid and spend your money wisely

It will take 4 years of undergraduate work taking classes that include biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, etc...Then you have to be accepted to a medical school for another 4 years.  At the end of your schooling you'll spend another 3 years in residency as a physician under other doctors being certified as a pediatrician.  This is in the US anyways.
