Career Satisfaction
Will I be happy with this choice long-term?
If no one in your family has asked the question aloud, perhaps it’s one you’re asking yourself – Is this profession viable? Income notwithstanding, career satisfaction is the best way to answer that question. An overwhelming 98% of our respondents reported satisfaction with their naturopathic medical career.
Not surprisingly, 78% of the doctors surveyed said that they are not only satisfied with their work, but that they actually love their work! And as with income satisfaction, ND job satisfaction also increases with experience and years in practice.
“I think one of the great strengths of natural medicine is our ability to understand why people are sick and deal with the underlying cause of their illness. More and more, conventional medical doctors are getting frustrated with drugs, because, by far, the majority of drugs only relieve the symptoms – they don’t deal with the underlying cause of why that person is sick.”
