Why is being in medical school seen as such an amazing thing to be in by the average person, while they couldn't give a fuck about advanced degree in other hard or harder subjects?
Random picture.
Why find girls pilots attractive?

Everyone knows about doctors and everyone knows they make good money.
If you are like most people then at some point in your life your parents probably told you that you should be a doctor.
Basically because it is a meme and that implies that it is popular. Everyone knows about it so everyone talks about it. Nothing special here.

Authority mentality.
People who can "save" you become deities to normal people.

Why should your parents randomly tell you to become X?
Are you Asian?
People in general are ignorant and worship degrees and titles. Poor people know about doctors and what they do. They dont know what 90+% of stem workers do.

I am not asian and they did not directly told me to be one but I am sure that at least once my mom told me about how doctors make good money and that I should get good grades to aspire to be like them.
Something like that.

because doctors directly save lives with their degrees.
also media plays a big role in it to. House, ER, etc.
>Why is being in medical school seen as such an amazing thing to be in by the average person
because doctors have sufficient responsibility to fuck someones shit seriously up. They also may do surgery/put their fingers up your butt, tear off skin, sew wounds etc.
Normies just dont realize doctors do not give a single fuck and lost any shreds of humanity a long time ago
thats why normies are impressed, they go "wow how can this guy do this shit and still be a shit-normie good for nothing human being?" The poor souls they dont realize

That's because they take what doctor's say at face value. When a doctor says 'I do what I do because I care about people :^)' what he's really saying is 'I am sexually aroused by other peoples' praise and approval.' They just don't know how to read between the lines.

Their lives are terrible. They work constantly and unless you love medicine (spoiler: it's boring) you won't even have enough time to get your ass kissed to a degree that would make it worthwhile.
I opted for EE but if I had studied something like chemistry or a soft science like bio I would try to become a pharmacist
>chill at work all day
>call yourself a drug dealer
>know which QTs in your town have STDs
Or if you don't just want to kick back, pursue a field that is at least interesting, like genetics. Medicine is shit.
ITT plebs who couldn't get accepted into med school

Because normies only see doctors as "hurr they save lifes, it is almost magic" and not as the advanced plumbers they really are
