Only an engineer would think those classes are difficult.


Calculus and DiffEQ are some of the easiest and most basic math classes you can take in college

Yeah she said she spent the next few months after that just crying and feeling sorry for herself. Said it took several months to get better health wise and regroup and figure out what was her next plan career wise. This woman is my age btw.


All that hard work(and loans)...and that happens.

Thanks. I guess I should clarify that with this topic I'm separating the jobs/careers vs the degrees. Meaning that I'm thinking only in terms of curriculum and what is required to obtain that degree...not the actual job after the degree.

nah, i knew what you meant and all, but i still felt it needed to be said... for every "good" doctor, there are probably 3 or 4 "great" nurses behind them doing all their work...

At Auburn, nurses have to do a rotation to get their degree. I heard a lot of undergrads talk about being on waste duty with horror

yeah i'm pondering broadening my horizons so stories like that make me feel terrible. i'm only 32 so i have a looong way ahead of me. but i've been out of school for 8 years in may and i haven't invested that kind of time/money in schooling to be fricked closer to 40

I agree with this, but the thread specifically asked degrees. If we are talking jobs, my answer completely changes.

PT's know how the body works (muscles, connective tissue, etc.) much more than doctors (maybe an exception of someone who does a residency specializing...talking right out of med school).


Disagree. In med school, we shared anatomy lab with PT some. and we learned a significantly higher level of detail.



Let me get this straight. PT's spend three years focused solely on the physics of the body, primarily on how to fix muscle and skeletal problems. Yet, you as a MD have to know not only how the body functions but also cell biology, what "good" looks like across the entire body, all of the variations of disease that someone can face, and the medicines/treatment to prescribe to solve said illness.

It makes zero sense that MDs (in 4 years of school) who cover 10x the material as PTs (in 3 years of school) would know the material that PTs study better than them. PTs literally have to know a 10th of what MDs do yet they still go to school for 75% the length of medical school and spend all of their time learning a very specific skill set. PT as a specialty is more similar to an MD who specializes in a residency for the next 3 years post-medical school.

You can argue that MDs are smarter than PTs on average. That's likely true but there are a multitude of PTs that could have been admitted into medical school if that is what he/she preferred.
