@DadTwoGirls I’ve read your same point in the other threads. With due respect, allied health (PT, OT, etc) and Nursing are very competitive in their own right and many also require organic chemist and other stringent classes. No, the pipeline is not as long or as difficult as med school but if a student is struggling to meet the requirements for med school, he or she is unlikely to gain access into grad school for allied health fields or a BSN program.
If someone is looking for the associate degree level, (PTA, COTA, X-Ray tech, etc) then yes, there are great opportunities with good pay and easier academic paths. Some of these may go to bachelor’s programs in the future and some may already be.
