people do unbelievable things "just for a job" every day. it is called making life decisions. where is a disdain smiley when i need one?

Cool story bro.
Maybe you missed the part where I said "Point being, you're an idiot if you're going into medicine for the money. I want to make bank, just like everyone else. How much money I make will be a huge deal in my future decisions."
Pardon my naiveté, but I still think that being a doctor is more than a job. I'm sorry you disagree.
