Maybe, but the smartest people I know all rabidly hate bureaucracy and credentialism. And if you're smart, why not go into finance / tech instead? No education requirements past college, and you can start earning good money immediately out of school. You even get a decent work life balance in the case of tech.
- rscho 5y agoBecause, as difficult to believe as it may be to some people, some people are not all about money since the beginning. Some remain idealistic well into their thirties and earn a medical degree. Once you've got it though... that's when it starts to be difficult to stay idealistic and optimistic.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThey probably should significantly be about the money considering they will likely be entering their 30s with a few hundred thousand dollars of debt. Staring down the barrel of spending your 20s doing arduous, stressful work while your friends have fun, passing prime relationship building years, entering into final childbearing years...not much room for idealism once reality hits.
- nicoburns 5y agoNo, we probably ought to have a system where they don't need to be.
- MattGaiser 5y ago> No education requirements past college No formal ones. But you better keep up. I know a few med people and a big one for them is risk aversion. Medicine never has a recession. There will never be a glut of doctors. You don’t need to job hunt every 2 years.
- gnarcoregrizz 5y ago> No education requirements past college leetcode. gotta keep up even if you're 15 years deep in the tech industry
- fallingknife 5y agoYeah, but there's no leetcode degree and you move at your own pace. 1000x better than school.
- learc83 5y agoI would 100% rather get a 1 time credential than go through the current interview process every few years.
