I did okay on Step 1 (238), maybe not by your standards. At any rate, yeah I'm concerned about matching but I hope anyone who isn't too cocky would be a little anxious about the whole thing, again guess I'm not the stellar person you are. I'm not really worried about those jokers taking spots from me either, as the schools to which I plan to apply have not had open spots after the match in the last few years. I started this thread to vent about what I think is a ridiculous phenomenon. Whenever someone posts about average salaries or lifestyle considerations, the OP is torn apart as someone who's going into the field for the "wrong reasons." But apparently, in the context of this thread that I started, that does not seem to be the case... because essentially that is what I am talking about; individuals going into a field for reasons that on any other thread would be frowned upon, while people with perhaps a genuine interest do not match, and perhaps their credentials aren't bad.
Maybe because I was "venting" and thus did not avoid expressive language, most people on this stupid thing can't resist the urge to tear the OP apart. Regardless, I think I make a legitimate point whether or not you want to hem and haw about the manner in which I make it.
Oh well, I'm sure a moderator will close it soon anyway.
