There are those who take a very different view (not me).  These people have 
a habit of calling themselves "dinosaurologists".

Let's imagine a world where the opposite was true.  I would contend that a 
lot of people could become professional dermatologists at quite a young age. 
 And dermatology would be a very male-dominated profession.  (Of course, 
I'm not admitting to anything myself...)


Thanks for the message, Scott.  I agree 100%.
