[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. My argument is as follows-

JD is more intellectual than MD
JD has much higher salary potential
JD is much more versatile - the prestige speaks for itself in many industries 
JD ceiling is higher - Supreme Court justices have no medical counterpart near as prestigious 
JDs in big law get car service, catered lunches, and suits - MDs have cabs/trains, cafeteria, and scrubs 
JDs are sole in their ability to practice law - MDs have DO and foreign competition 
JDs charge by hour - MDs have to deal with government dictated reimbursements

How are docs more prestigious?[/quote]

MDs have excellent job security and the longer the tenure the more they make and solidify their speciality, patients, reputation.

Lawyers are only as good as their last few cases or client revenue streams and have awful job security. Plus the more you make the more you have a target on your back for replacement by a cheaper jr partner.  Competitive advantage is not skill but how many hours more you will work than others.
