Most of these people only care about money. In law and surgery (and many people who like to talk about "becoming a surgeon" will never hack it), there is a ceiling as far as potential earnings.

 

except for trial lawyers which most people dont end up doing

being a dr is great if you really love it but you will work your ass off to be in debt until you are 30+

 

if it weren't for the long hours, low pay and that i am afraid of seeing the insides of the human body, i would be a neurosurgeon. i almost entered a top med school in here, but after a reality check, i knew that i wouldnt enjoy doing 12 hour surgeries and open someone's flesh.

my father is an orthopaedic surgeon, nothing special about him. he is very patient though.

This is key. I guarantee the first time I see someone being cut, I will faint like a little girl. I did not enjoy cutting open a frog in biology, so I seriously doubt I would enjoy feeling up a guy's kidneys for 8 hours a day.
 

Are you kidding me? Law instead of banking? Kill me. Have any of you even worked with counsel to help close a deal? Lawyer due dili calls are some of the worst things ever. Then having to review the docs they send out is absolute murder. One of our lawyers confessed to me that everything they write in those 90 page docs could be condensed into 4 pages. Going through 90 pages of legalese to input the correct dates, dollars, etc. is pure pain. Putting together those docs must be even more pain.

If money was not an issue, I'd probably be a snowboard instructor in Lake Tahoe, or something.
