Better alternative?

[SpecialR]

Alright, I have a question..

Is it possible to do nursing for four years and then switch to another grad school like Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy? Or is it wiser to take the B.Sc Biology and then apply?

Physio is now a Master's....

There's this whole shift towards putting degrees and qualifications at higher and higher levels to try to make it more 'respected' when in reality, it's just making the whole graduate level qualification watered down.

which, in the end, will make the whole grad-level not so well-respected. oh well, we can always go higher.

I don't know if we can go higher but I agree that the grad-level will be 'cheapened'.

A Bachelor's degree seems nigh-useless on its own these days - it's more of a badge of 'look at all the money I spent and time I wasted'.

It's all about marketing, money for Universities, status for the degree holder, a need to differentiate people objectively (even though it's quite hollow).
