TBH, I don't know what your point is in the above. I think most people in the scenario would know they have achieved something by the world's standards, but might not have by their own. They are not incongruous thoughts. I would agree that someone else thinking a doctor is an underachiever would be wrong, but I wouldn't say so if the doctor themselves said that. So, for me, it is more about realizing that I would like to achieve that, but not at the sacrifice it would take to my family at this moment in time. So, well done for realizing that it takes quite a bit of hard work with equal amounts of luck. Good luck doing it and, if you get there, you will have earned it.
