[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Unless you are a doctor, you also lacked the ambition to become one, correct?

I am not a nurse, nor am I doctor. I am not interested in school/training that can last a decade. Nothing wrong with that.[/quote]

Nothing wrong with that, but it does say you did not have enough ambition to be a doctor.  Just own it, nothing wrong with that.[/quote]

Why does being a doctor represent the epitome of ambition to you?  No, I did not have the ambition to be a doctor and I didn't have the ambition to be a lawyer, nobel peace prize winner, software engineer, small business owner....there are several things I chose not to be.  Because I don't WANT to be those things.  I have no interest in those things.  A doctor is just one of the professions on the long list of things I would never consider, including being a nurse.  It doesn't mean that any of those professions are not honorable and are a great fit for others--they are just not for me.  There is no need to pick on nurses because they aren't the highest paid people at the hospital--they chose their profession and are happy with it.  Move on!  [/quote]
