DO DO DO, DA DA DA DA, is all I want to say to you.

Let me get this straight, you get into DO school after failing at a career in Podiatry. Then you have the gall to come back to a Podiatry forum and attempt to undermine impressionable students and residents that frequently seek advice here? In a vain attempt to ease your own torment over that lost time. Spare us your condescension. Everyone of any worth knows that a talented individual can make a living out of any situation. Let alone a person with a professional degree. The fact that you bombed at Podiatry is more a reflection on your own lack of initiative, will power, persistence, perserverance, tenacity or plain old smarts than anything else. Talk to that guy who made a million on the pet rock to realize that success comes from your own endeavors and not from a piece of parchment with some capitalized letters on it. Perhaps if I started giving out degrees like the Wizard of Oz did, proclaiming "omniscience and omnipotence to the bearer", I might just make a good living off of all those poor souls, like yourself, that seek approval from without when it was really all within.Cheers!
