curious to see how many "holier-than-thou" types there are here

I would have voted, but "you have a Jesus complex" wasn't an option.
 
I love the competitiveness and rigors of becoming a DO.
 
20% of you who chose money should really to go into dentistry. they make the same as doctors, probably more if they worked the same hours
 
yes but with the high suicide rate their lifetime earning potential is decreased. Many of these people will become dentists, if they can't get into med school
 
I willvote for "because of women" 😍

Dentists are third for highest suicide rate now. First is shrinks and social workers...at least that's what I was told.
 
So I can put fake tits on blondes in South Beach and drive a benz on dubs. 👍

Because
  • I like the fact I get to stay home Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights while my friends are out at the local bars
  • I always wanted to know exactly what simple sugars make up complex sugars so I could impress my non-Atkins diet friends
  • I could look at boobies and vaginas all darn day long and never be called a dirty old man
  • I love the fact we have to know how many bonds a C, S, H, O can have to once again impress our friends
  • I love pissing off the other people in my class because I stole their notes so they would do poorly on a test.
  • in four days I will finally no longer be a premed

Most original comment I heard all day.
Although I guess it captures the gist of things.

Well at least I'm not a socialist.
 
great thread, slackerjock 🙂
I would've added the option, "because I'm Asian and don't like law or engineering". :meanie:
