By the way you can buy programming help from ebay as well for $50 - $100 dollars.


I'm sure it takes a lot to become a CI. And I don't want to get into an argument which is harder to get into. I didn't realize it was as hard to become a CI as it was for me to get to where I am. By the way I had to have a 3.8 GPA in High school and be on the Honor Role. Get into a good College and maintain my GPA above 3.6 and take a really hard exam called MCAT (which included physics, organic Chemistry, chemistry, Biology more). Get into Medical School by impressing interviewers. Go through the nation Match and get into a Residency (one of the hardest in the USA). Work 36 hour shifts strait several times a week for years making $40K. Having $200K in Medical school loans because my parents couldn't afford it. Passing Step 1 of the Medical Boards, Step 2 of the medical Boards, and Step 3 of the medical Boards. Then passing a Nation Radiology Physics exam in year 2 of residency. Passing the Written exam in radiology in year 3 and an oral exam in year 5. Then getting a limited license for 10 years and repassing an exam every 10 years.

This whole process took 14 years of my life but to me it was well worth it. I don't look down on your profession. I think you provide a valuable service Again I think its nuts comparing Medicine to CI. They are two different professions. I know I couldn't pass your Exams just like you couldn't pass mine. But remember its 14 years for me. Out of curiosity how many years for you?
