Thank you for your post Commision Guy

Dear "Guy who works on commission",

Your post is so true, and I wanted to say thank you. I am in scientific research, and have been accepted into podiatry and waiting to hear from medical school. I have seriously considered podiatry over medicine for several reasons, and your message has reminded of why, while other posts I have read here began to discourage me. I am a hard worker, I know how to network, and follow through on my decisions... sounds like you do the same. Others that have posted here seem to complain, and are trying to turn people like myself away from a profession that shows huge potential enormous amounts of government funding for research.

Thanks to all of the people who post messages with helpful info about the profession, including the good, bad, and ugly. To those who just want to complain and justify your failures by bashing the profession of podiatric medicine, please do it elsewhere.
