    I don’t want my kid to be a doctor. Why would I want anyone to be over worked, under paid, under appreciated and always blamed for everything under the sky.

    My aunt and uncle are doctors

    Their sons are, respectively, a baker and an aeronautic engineer.

    Make of that whatever you will.

    Lol I was allowed to be anything I wanted when I grew up, and if I picked a type of engineering my family would even consider still speaking to me

        How many nickels would you have if you had a nickel for every child you knew who almost got disowned for not becoming a doctor while their parents were doctors and already forced all their older siblings to become doctors as well?
