thanks.
it seems to be more marketable than it used to be (in this part of the world at least) since you no longer need a referral from a primary care doctor. it means that patients can choose to come to you according to how well you market yourself. a certain kind of patient, at least, since now patients are required to co-pay (they never used to before) and ACC is limiting funding for the number of visits (they never used to before).
Still, who is to say what will happen in the next 4 years. And it can hardly be less marketable than philosophy. There is always going to be money in health. And there isn't much in the way of a history of academia for the field...
