"... and possibly unable to grind it through the long road to become a doctor."
It's a long road to many other fields......at least the path to becoming a doctor is a clear one. Imagine the path to becoming a CEO, a Senator, a PhD grad from an Ivy...each of them are longer and less clear than becoming a doctor.
The medical field is based on numbers, first and foremost. A 3.6 GPA plus decent MCAT scores will land me into a med school......very do-able compared to the paths to other fields.
Hey, it's a job, just like any other job.....no need to make it seem more noble than it is in reality. Doctors don't sacrifice anything....they gain a lot more than the average person. It's the mechanics, and the burger king employees that are doing the "sacrificing"....who else would want their jobs?
