That's true of both doctors and lawyers; you do have a point that because doctor and lawyer training takes longer, you have the risk that if you wash out later in the process, you will have wasted a lot more money. Not just that: If you're a mediocre programmer you can still make $50k working 9-5 writing enterprise Java CRUD apps. If you're a mediocre 'businessman' or lawyer you're working at Starbucks if at all.
