Podiatry by Defboy (no login)   I have several friends who completed: MD, engineering, PA,Rn and an RNA program. They have loans they started out in the mid 60k-125k. As a pod you may not have the later money making power(doubt) but that is a caseof you not being a business man. Kyosaki-my gosh. Show one of his properties. I am sure he has them, but his "bread and butter" is his "motivational" crap to get people to bu his book and make him famous. Anyhow to just be blunt! The new programs are making podiatry legit. Many of the practicing podiatrist that graduated many years ago have excelent training and give pods a good name and make good money. It seems to me that many of the older pods as well as new pods think that an acronym, or title gives you money. It ain't the old south boyz and girls you have to work. It sucks I know I ma paying my way through undergrad and supporting a family at the same time. I will graduate with a political science degree and a teachers license what does that equal? a whopping $24-35k a year and a max ranging to 70k if I don't do a grad program. If you want to do podiatry doit. the 50k you complain about today will be 75k later or even 300k. doing the math you'll be able to pay the same loans off faster. Just suck it up or move to a new career. I was in management for WM, you get screwed in every business and as said before educational institutions are business if they did not make money they would not exist. hospitals and most everything else as well. just my ramblings.
