You tube video on Bowen therapy and my career of interest



Chiropractic care or Bowen therapy would by my dream jobs.
The YouTube video above demonstrates Bowen therapy.
Chiropractors diagnose and treat spinal problems and other health disorders to help their patients recover and maintain good health. They treat the patient to prevent disabilities and correct abnormalities caused by problems that affect the nervous system. They manually adjust the spine and other parts of the body. They use treatment like water (hydrotherapy), light, heat, ultrasound, electricity and nutrition. They perform examinations and study laboratory tests and x-rays to help in their diagnoses.

Chiropractic services in Medicare and the emphasis on natural ways of maintaining health is increasing the demand for chiropractic services. Those entering private practice will face competition that is expected to increase because of the larger number of chiropractic graduates. Opportunities may be better in small towns and areas with few practitioners.
Pay depends on whether workers are new graduates, are working as associates in an established office, or are beginning private practice. Costs of establishing a practice are high, so income is usually low at first. Average pay is $6,891.

First Impressions


 The first in-class activity was the ice breaker. We were assigned to pick a class mate and introduce ourselves. My chosen partners name was Andrew he chose to take career planning and preparation so he could fill his credits for this fall semester. He hopes to learn more about careers and preparation for a interviews. Andrew is a full time student and is really interested in becoming a business man preferably in hotel management. His parents run a hotel in Las Vegas this is how he has gained all his experience up to this point in his life. Andrews favorite past time hobby is baseball. He is exceptionally great at pitching for his passion which is baseball.
In our class our teacher then explained the syllabus. She then laid down the rules for the class. She also explained or first homework assignment. The class then went over a powerpoint presented by Professor Char Perlas the topic was the current highest paying jobs. The top five paying jobs are all in the medical field. Good thing I chose this field for my career goal. My dream job is to become a certified chiropractor.
The next discussed subject was on Mesa which is math, engineering, and science achievement. Which Professor Char Perlas is the Division Chair for this student services here at Mission College.
Professor Perlas then briefly went over due dates. Then physically showed us how to use Angel properly. She also explained what a hybrid class was which is half in-class and half online.
The things I hope to learn in career planning and preparation is as follows:
Career fields I myself would be great at performing
skills that will improve my presentations
how to conduct myself during a job interview
learning more about fields that I am unaware of
learn more computer savy skills
learning more on job wording and communication in the work place
