LOL! Oh, man. I don't usually post at all, but de727ups just cracks me up with his Sky quotes, awesome!

As for the original post, it seems as though it's twice as tough to become an MD in the US than in my country (Norway). Here it's 6 years with no school fees, then ca. 1 year residency. I don't know much about the specifics, but in general terms that's how it works here.

Heck, everything seems to be easier here. Becoming a pilot doesn't require a 4 year college degree and then 10 years in a poor paying regional. I feel like a really spoiled kid!
