Can you rank these degrees?
These rankings are subjective and based solely upon my respect for their fields. I would not have a DC ranked anywhere close to number 7, though. I would rank it far below many other professions, but you did not ask about that.





1. DO;


2. MD;


3. PM;


4. DDS;


5. OD;


6. PHD;


7. PHARMD; and,


8. DC
Reply:DO


MD


PM


DDS


OD


PHARMD


DC


PHD
Reply:Hmmm, this is purely subjective, but I'll give it a shot:





1) MD


2) DO


3) DDS


4) OD


5) PM


6) DC


7) PharmD


8) PhD
Reply:MD, DO, OD, DDS, PharmD, PM, PHD and DC are tied at the bottom.





I have gotten some relief from Chiropractors, but I have also dealt with some charletans.





Regardless, the amount of time in school and the broad applicability of the discipline is why I ordered them the way I did.
