You mean to get a job? That's because there is are way toooo many- it was the "easy" way into medical. As an oldish guy who runs, trust me, I know PT- I have never been exposed to any other profession that is so full of hacks. Once I found a good PT I followed him everywhere, but I bet I went through 10 before finding him.
I look back on engineering school and I remember my cleanest realization- I got a 65% on a test and it translated to class average, a B+. For awhile I was afraid of driving on bridges, realizing a "good" engineer is wrong 1/3 of the time. Then I realized the same math probably applies to doctors AND engineers at least work with a group, no one is second guessing the doctor.

Research dollars, allocations for education from the state, general government funding is harder and harder to come by. Living in a "business friendly" state means that we struggle to come up with revenue to pay for K-12, let alone help out our institutions of higher education.

Sometimes standing on the grand entrance to some massive federal courthouse I wonder what this will all look like in 50 years. Unless something major changes how can the US Gov ever build stuff like this again?
