[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctor here and I hope my kid is smart enough to become a plumber. [/quote]

This made me spit out my drink! :lol: [/quote]

sounds like my dad- who was a general surgeon for years and then an OB- he referred to himself as a manual laborer. He had a lot of respect for people who work with their hands- surgeon through mechanic.

I don't know- maybe i'm taking things for granted but I'm Pakistani and other than a scant handful everyone in my family extended and immediate who is not a SAHM is a physician and we can't all be geniuses- i think its also just deciding on something and making it happen for yourself.  Thats like- 15/20 people are physicians and the other 5 have graduate degrees in engineering/JDs or are IT/Software engineers.  Only have 3 cousins who didn't finish college out of like 100 and one of them is just a mess.  Its just as much about expectations, focus etc. then, right?  The kind of college varies from Oxford/Cambridge to UMBC/george Mason but its still college.
