The key is a good residency post, or a good clerkship post grad. The second key is networking. The third key is maintaining your physical fitness. Society values beauty and people want to work in close proximity to good looking people.

The final key is charity and knowing YAHUAH b/c it is he that elevates people, not we ourselves. 
You can go to the best schools and still if it is not your destiny to be elevated by YAHUAH you will not be elevated. 
Each of us have a destiny, the thing that your gut and heart longs to do most. Following that path set by your Creator will elevate you, just doing something for money will make your path equivocally harder. Yes you may prosper some, but will you flourish the way you would have, had you followed the path set for you?

OP, allow your daughter to follow her heart. Don't change her destiny because of fear. [/quote]

But your post shows why these costs are unsustainable. If, in order for these degrees to be worth the cost, you need to get a good residency post, a good clerkship, successfully network, and also be attractive, then the vast majority of graduates will not get the ROI needed to justify it. There isn't enough of all that to go around.

My advice to people is to understand that if you are going to spend or borrow large sums of money to get an education, it must be for something you can't imagine NOT doing. That's the only reason to pursue something this time consuming and costly -- because being a doctor or a lawyer is the only thing you can seriously see yourself doing. Otherwise, it will be a waste of your time and money and you'll wonder why you didn't just pursue a career straight out of undergrad. [/quote]
