Is a masters degree almost necessary these days?

<p>I usually don’t post but this is my pet peeve really I wish some one would tell me why a PT needs a PHD to practice an OT needs a MS. You are seeing a credential creep in almost all medical fields. A pharmacist program went from a 5 year program now to a 7 year. </p>

<p>I am so glad that I graduated when I did, I would have found it hard to know that I would have minimum 5-7 more years of schooling for basically a career with not much advancement. </p>
