I am going on to graduate school and I'm told by my parents that where you go for graduate school in the end matters much more than undergraduate. However, some other people told me that businesses care a lot about where you went for undergraduate. I was admitted to both USC and Berkeley and even though Berkeley was ranked a bit higher in my field, when I visited, I was absolutely put off by how the professors only cared about their grad students and basically ignored the undergraduates, so I went to USC (which does seem to care a lot; every single one of my professors, including the ones in those large classes early on, knows me). Was this a bad choice, even though I'm getting more personalized attention?

I guess it depends where your going to work. As far as I know, most companies are looking more at the degree earned than where you got it from. But some companies do look at where you went to school as much as what your degree is in. But I think in the end, what matters in how you can accomplish the job, not where you went to school.

I am absolutely surprised by the answers. Yes, an undergraduate degree mattes very much. A degree from a great university is going to open a lot of doors for interview for you. On the other hand a degree from a lousy university and most employers that care will throw the resume in the waste bin. Jobs with higher incomes and very high income when you come out of the university are mostly secured by the graduates from high-ranking universities. I think you made a poor choice by not selecting Berkley. However, you can always compensate for your past mistakes in life by working for it.
A graduate degree is the same way but a graduate degree from a school is not as prestigious as the undergraduate degree. This is because it is a lot easier to get in the graduate school of a great college as compared to an undergrad school. However, graduate students may sometimes command higher salaries.

As a chiropractic pupil myself, i ought to say that it should be an acceptable major. it is going to practice you for the classes that are ti come contained in the chiropractic curriculum. Human anatomy, body structure, and biomechanics of the body are all factors that are key in chiropractic. good success!

I don't think it really matters, unless you went to some Ivy League school which is necessary for the profession. (ie Law).
