Pharmacy and dentistry salaries surpass optometry salaries- it will be interesting to see what happens in the future with their student debt to income ratio.
Thanks for the link. Sort of sad.

one thing the article does not mention is that higher education in the US is big business. Business is about profits or $$$$$. Thus schools are going to try to squeeze as much money as they can from students. Their #1 goal is not education for student but to sell education to student at maximum profit.
