These stats do not take into account increasing competition from NP’s and PA’s as these are strict numbers.

A month or so ago Neal Grinder set out to find CP. The search began and ended with a call to the chiropodist who subletted space in the office of a partially blind dentist in the seedy side of Big Town. Grinder drove the streets in his 1958 cherry red Cadiallac with fuzzy dice dangling from the rearview mirror which he checked often making sure his Elvis cut stayed in place, and sideburns perfect. He’d later recall this being that part of town where you can end up dead for no reason other than the black leather jacket Grinder had… Read more »
Starting celery (as in the vegetable) is—after a seven year course—is not close to the so-called ‘parity’ promised by the pod-stream (sort of like urine dribble dough. Drip drip drop is the destiny destroyed by NOT adhering to the decades of suggestions, comments, posts, and the P braggarts. Pods can’t compete with NP or PAs, and the level of disdain for pods just keeps climbing…Reading a few posts on the student site is some jokers—aggrandizing the level of assholery that could turn off every light switch in the mind that ‘maybe a podiatrist’ gets met with a: “Seriously? We could… Read more »
300K+ student loan debts, lawsuits, audits, charting, coding, computer mumbo jumbo, rent, insurances, billing systems, forms and more, denials, insurance fun times, etc.etc.. Drip drip drip, dip shit dip shit dip to the shit. Post on your bathroom mirror: I am dumb, I signed up for podiatry. However, I have a choice. I can leave podiatry and start living. or be a slave doin’ that p thing
https://www.podiatrym.com/Current_Issue2.cfm?id=2360 Decades and decades. In my time, Project 2000 (like Y2K?), then project this, project that. Now, they’re starting to squirm. Is it out of concern for podiatry, or for themselves? I would guess the latter. And now it’s too late. Now they want to listen to the grassroots? Seriously? Emperor Palpatine: Young fool. Only now, at the end, do you understand. [shoots another round of lightning into Luke] Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side. You have paid the price for your lack of vision!

Essentially a 130k median salary? Whose ass did they pull that out of? F*ckin’ bureaucrats…
Nice comment Greg also how many podiatrists making far less than 100k and struggling!
You could’ve been a school teacher and after 5-7rs making 135K for 180days a year with great benies, few if any student loans, much less headaches, paperwork, audits, lawsuits bulleyes, etc Who the fuck would dor podiatry, or medicine in general? Must be brain dead or bought into the steaming shit pile of propaganda ala BM “news”
Does not take into account those who make under 100 k and who struggle to make ends meet
$62 bucks an hour and 129,000/year. Hell that’s teacher salary in NY and they work 180 days/yr.. The average State Trooper makes $104,000 plus PENSION AND BENEFITS and 20 years and out. Yeah, you hear about big gross, but net? $62/hr, U.A.W WORKERS MAKE around $45/hr +. After 7 more yrs post BA/BS., Competition, audits, million dollar law suits, hundreds of thousand in debt, PODIATRY IS A BAD INVESTMENT. Add to that a limited wtf license and it’s even worse. The Golden days of $3,000 bunionectomies, $1,000 hammer toes, and $400 P&A’s has pillaged podiatry’s trust . BAD podiatrists JUSTIFY… Read more »
Yup. Roberto is abs correct. Many West coast school teachers make 140k for 180d and large benies. Firefighters make around 250-400k + in CA plus huge pensions and hero bullshit for <2% fire related work. Rest is dozing for dollars and washing the truck.
The DP thing. Yah, good luck. Tons in debt, 60h+work weeks, Audit’s, lawsuits, fuck it
Only in the funny world of podlietry would they be happy with $62/h pre tax. WTF? After 11 years of schooling and debts? WTF? Add in student loans, insurance, overhead, debts, licensures, exams, forms forms forms, coding nonsense, lawsuits, and shitty work environs. Why would anyone think this is a ‘good’ salary?
Thanks flatus nice summary! Podiatry much a do about nothing
