On a lighter note, in no way meant to be disrespectful, Gaylord Focker in Meet the Parents give a moving account of why he chose nursing over being an MD (I don't want to say medicine, because to me nursing is medicine.) His MCAT results were sterling, but he decided he wanted to work more with people.

Robert de Niro's character comes to accept, and I'd say, respect this.

I have students who want to be nurses and those who want to be doctors. Gender doesn't seem to play much of a role anymore.

BTW: Salaries listed made me want to cry. College professors are seriously underpaid!
