Have you considered that some people might choose their career based on something other than money? The sentence "med students should probably do law instead" strikes me as very very odd; they are such wildly different occupations that unless your sole consideration is money I'd say most med students would never want to do law, and most law students would never want to do medicine.
- bagacrap 7y agoI thought we were talking about a SWE making a late-life career change, so I offered one perspective. Certainly I'm glad that doctors exist, and I hope they chose their profession for altruistic reasons (although I'm not sure I believe that to be the common case).
- telesilla 7y agoMany choose their occupation for status, or it's chosen for them. Doctor still has the higher prestige above attorney or engineer.
