I'm getting worried about my future because of the nature of this forum

In my world as a young podiatrist 3 years out of residency nothing could be better for me. I do surgery twice a week, i get referals from MD's on a daily basis, i have no complex about "cutting toenails" for diabetics and even people who can't reach them anymore and I'll net between 160-180,000 this year. All my colleagues I associate with are in the same boat as me. However, after reading this forum for over 2 years I have come to the conclusion that something is going on in podiatry that I don't personally experience. Why would people come on this board and post over and over abouthow they can't make it if it weren't true. And although I find it hard to believe some of the stories because I have not seen it personally does not mean it's not true and there is not a problem. Is my profession going to exist in 30 years? I'm only 32years old should I start thinking about getting my MD degree or do people think we will still exist but there will not be any new podiatrists?
I've always been a worry wort sorry!
