[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Why is everyone ignoring my examples?

A family practice DO is more prestigious than a HLS big law associate? [/quote]

Because your examples are dumb. [/quote]

+1 - that's not the appropriate comparison

there are various ways to look at this:

- is the average doctor considered to have a more prestigious career than the average lawyer? i think the answer to this is yes

- is the most successful lawyer considered to have a more prestigious career than the most successful doctor? i think no. maybe equivalent - but i'd think that the doctor would still win this one.

- is a low-level lawyer considered to have a more prestigious career than a low-level attorney&gt; yeah, i think so

- is a law professor thought of as having a better career than a med school professor? this one i actually don't know the answer to. prbly equivalent?

- which one does your mom want to tell her friends about? doctor over lawyer, i think, in most cases

- if you tell someone you're a doctor or a lawyer and nothing more, which one are people more likely to be impressed by? doctor, i think

- is the most successful lawyer considered to have a better career than the least successful doctor? yes, in that case you're right, it's better to be the lawyer

"- is a low-level lawyer considered to have a more prestigious career than a low-level attorney&gt; yeah, i think so" - i meant a low-level doctor is considered to have a more prestigious career than a low-level attorney[/quote]
