Answers:
You pretty much need a Bachelor's Degree, you can be a few classes short and finish at the chiropractic school. But i won't recommend it, they charge a arm and a leg. I know i am a chiropractor. The chiropractic program is 4 years long after your Bachelor's Degree after you graduate. So 8 years total~However you'll most likely work as an associate or a fellowship for a few years until you open up your own practices.
