[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder if this is going to bust the medical industry at some point, too. Like the way too many people going to law school helped that industry implode. Opening more medical schools to train students with lower scores, flooding the job market with doctors of all caliber and rankings and lowering the overall compensation for all doctors. That would be interesting. [/quote]You might find this article interesting.

Thanks for the link, PP. Maybe what will happen is that only doctors from the highest rated, name brand schools will be able to make it to the top of the income pyramid. This is what seems to have happened with law, the shake out of those who do not graduate from the top tier schools with the best grades. So either students have to be extremely bright or have family money and connections to get the right kind of extra training and opportunities to get admitted. Education used to be a way to climb up the SES ladder but providing that to the masses creates too much supply and the market eventually self-corrects. Is there a way that we can have more haves without creating more have-nots? [/quote]
