Glory

Okay, you'll have a shot at glory in the chiropractor world. Not a great shot, but a shot nonetheless. Maybe you'll have an inordinately successful practice and will be featured on the news, boosting your business so much that you can open a chain of chiropractor clinics. Or maybe you author the first truly definitive, academically-sound, peer-reviewed study that provides empirical evidence of the existence of subluxations.

Just think of all that glory: positive reviews from M.D.s, customers waiting in long lines (not good for their backs, by the way) just to see you, or maybe even a daytime TV show about chiropractic medicine. Dare to dream.

But just in case all that gloriousness doesn't work out as expected (it won't), you can settle for helping the people in genuine pain who come to see you. You might not get to Dr. Oz-level fame, but you can still carve some glory out of your well-run practice.
