RE: Pod Schoolsby The Toeman (no login)Liz, I would never got to pod school if I had to do it again. I had a great job before I went to school & should have stayed where I was. Now, if your grades are good & MCAT scores are good, look at MD or DO school. I have many friends in podiatry ( I am not involved in Podiatry now, but I have the letters DPM..... mind you this coming from someone who is in their 40's who has accomplished a lot in my life), that are really struggling. Many have also left the field & are now in other professions. That is not to say you can not do good. I have a friend who is doing fantastic. But, for many, I now are still struggling, & these are guys who have been out there for 5+ years. I would think it over. Talk to some pods in your area. See what they tell you. But, not the ones in their 60's, they are all doing good. Look at the average guy who has been out there for 5 years. How is he doing? Enrollment is way down. Good luck in whatever you choose.
