A good salesman out earns most people with more impressive degrees. Even in fields with professional degrees, rainmaker big law partners  are really just salesmen. [b]The difference between a great doctor and a regular doctor usually comes down less to skill and more to their ability to sell themselves as a great doctor.[/b] I can't think of any field where this doesn't apply, even the best engineers who form start ups are successful in raising VC because they can sell themselves and their ideas.

What? Maybe if you define a great doctor as one who makes more money, but that’s not how normal people think about it. This post kind of proves OP’s point.[/quote]

Look at the Washingtonian great doctors issue (or anything similar in any city). How many tables listing outcomes and mortality rates do you see? [/quote]
Again, not what normal people think about when they consider whether they have a good doctor.[/quote]

Sure, they usually consider bedside manner which is how the doctors sells themselves to patients. I'm sure most would say they want competency, but most patients have no real way to judge that and don't bother looking at the sources even when they are available. Instead, someone who presents themselves as competent is seen as competent. If you think that I'm wrong, if you had surgery did you look up your surgeons mortality rates or did you just ask around?
