Thinking about some of the most highly paid jobs on earth, how do a doctor, a lawyer and an investment professional compete? Generalize or specialize the profession or location as you please.
 
Doctors pay the most on average
Hedge fund managers pay the most in top 10%
Lawyers suck dicks.
 
Once you're done answering that question, I'd like a report detailing the influences of the papacy of European history, from 1400 AD to present times. Please include subsections on religious trends, politics (especially interactions with various monarchs), war, and society.
 
"Doctor" is a title, not a profession. The profession is 'surgeon,' 'physician,' etc.

When you're done with the papacy report, please prepare a 30 page, double spaced, using APA format, on the origins of the title "doctor" starting with a detailed etymology of the word from the time of the Phoenecians.
 
Oooh, Phoencians. Please include a section on Dido and Aeneas!

You know I hate these types of questions too because it's like you are asking me to decide the fate of your life. You really should just do what you love, work as hard as you can at it, and hopefully it will work out for you. And if not, at least you are doing what you enjoy.

Anyways, I'll entertain you all with an answer.

This industry is dead end for the most part. With all roads leading into sales or becoming independent (100% commission/you eat what you kill). Law could be interesting but involves lots of paperwork, reading boring documents and competition. The worst thing about being a doctor is the training/school. The job is a cakewalk with nurses doing mostly everything for you. Another job to consider is pharmacist. $70/$80k+ to put pills in bottles using pill counting machines and with the help of your assistants.
 
konnichiwa,

When you drink grape juice (or purple drink), you still pee yellow. Where does the purple go?
 
Good pick up. Gotta love Chappelle.

Eazy,
The purple literally goes to sh*t. (if you intake too much purple).

Rightly said, we gotta do what we truly like to do. But still, we gotta compare a few things along the way to see where we stand...

which isn't as hard as say a PhD.
Med School is at the level of a second undergrad degree (it is an undergrad degree in places like England where 18 years olds go to med school straight out of highschool, but in the US you need to do an undergrad degree first which is a dummy degree as little of what you learn in undergrad is used, and indeed some med schools don't even require a science background, Brown's Program in Liberal Medical Education being one)
> The job is a cakewalk

indeed, most physicians work what, 3 or 4 days a week.

indeed, taking pills out of big bottles and putting them into smaller bottles

WHOA. An MD and a PhD are certainly different degrees, but an MD AIN'T a second undergrad. And while I agree that the BA is not a great seperator, you need a pretty fantastic record to get into most med schools. Most med schools do not require you to have an biology/chemistry degree, but they have a long list of prerequiste courses(Physics, Anatomy, Orgo, etc). My mother (that's Dr. Exemplaria) is fond of saying the best doctor she knows was an English major in college.
 
Agreed. You wouldnt really need to have a biology or chemistry degree for med school. They teach all of that when you take it.
 
I have a few close friends that are MDs. They have a line that I like, "The hardest part of med school is getting in. The second hardest part would be to fail. "

Might not be really true but from what I know, once you are in, they will find a way to get you through.
 
"Agreed. You wouldnt really need to have a biology or chemistry degree for med school. They teach all of that when you take it."

Most medical schools require cell/molecular biology, two years of chemistry including organic, a year of physics, and calculus. Not to mention that the MCAT (which you need to do well on to get into medical school) covers chemistry, biology and physics. You don't need a bio/chem degree for medical school, but given all the prerequisites, they are probably the most common majors for pre-med students.
 
Cool, i'm sure you are right. The above was actually what my father said about it, who is a doctor and he probably meant it more towards what you would need as far as having enough knowledge to go through the med school program.
