[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Duke and this is a pretty accurate (and bitter) summary. I wish I had gone to a cheaper school close to home, and maybe done pre med or something. But I wasn’t really organized enough to take advantage of the opportunities available. Oh well. I did end up going to law school on the cheap with scholarships so I learned my lesson![/quote] Becoming a doctor is very different than becoming an attorney. Usually someone is drawn specifically to one of them. Doctors do important work and have to be highly intelligent and have an excellent work ethic. There are more attorneys than there are jobs. The median income for attorneys is about $120,000. If you were meant to be a doctor you probably would have chosen the cheaper one. Students knowing exactly what they want to do won’t necessarily need the elite school. [/quote]
