I wish someone had the balls to use that as a response when asked "Why do you want to be a physician?," JUST to see the look on the interviewer's face. 😀

Yes. I would enjoy that.

I've always figured that if I were to get in somewhere I want before an interview, I would respond either:
1) the money
2) Girls love guys in white coats
3) I really like the TV show "scrubs"
4) I thought it would be easy
5) My mom and dad are making me do it..I REALLY want to be a dancer!!!
6) Cutting people open is...i mean...sounds cool
7) Easy access to drugs
8) So I can be just like you.
9) Everybody else is doing it and im a follower
10) You've just given me number 10

I actually met Doogie Howser (Neil Patrick Harris) at a bar in Hollywood and had a beer with him - and that's what I told him. I think he thought I was completely crazy. Well, he's not far off.

My response:

"Because I've always wanted a ferrari."

Why do you want to be a doctor?

"It's probably the only way I can afford this drug habit"

When you get into med shcool that becomes:

"Why do you want to be an anesthesiologist?"

1) the money

There are people who have said this and have gotten in with this response. A friend of mine actually got a reply from his interviewer saying that it was the most refreshingly honest answer that he had heard all day...and he did get in.

I'd just say that its so I can eat while standing up and explain to my parents that gravity aids in digestion...

... you did see that episode, right?!?

This made me make that snorting, stifle-the-laugh-because-other-people-are-sleeping, but gurgling-and-choking-on-cherry-pepsi sort of noise. 🙂

Astronaut was taken... and they tell me Fairy Princess isn't a "real" job.
