[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nurse---people tend to think a) not smart enough to be a doctor and b) sleeping with the doctors.  Infuriating (and not true!).[/quote]

You may be smart enough to be a doctor, but you lacked the ambition.[/quote]

This is just mean.  Not the PP and not a nurse nor a doctor (not even anywhere related to the medical field) but I don't think that all nurses became nurses and not doctors because they lack ambition.  They may lack the desire to become a doctor but that's completely different.  Does everyone who chose not to become a doctor lack ambition in your opinion?  A nurse is a completely different job than a doctor--its not like nurses chose to become nurses because they didn't feel like they wanted to be a doctor so a nurse was the next best thing.  They may have chosen nursing because they like helping people on a more one-on-one level, maybe they liked the flexible hours for great pay and benefits or maybe they chose the field because it has incredible job security---none of these things are true for doctors.  Its the same reason I work in a law firm but have no desire to be a lawyer--they may make more but they work twice as much and they all seem to hate their jobs.  [/quote]
