Pick one- being a doctor or being a lawyer?

Question

Why? Which one is better? Which one do most people like more? Which profession to people look up to more? Which profession does more good, generally speaking?

Answer 1

How can you even ask?

Imagine having the knowledge to save someones life. Amazing.

Answer 2

id rather be a doctor, but there is one big con: no time for family!

i feel that most lawyers are immoral because they lie to keep a guilty man out of jail. Now there are some good lawyer who will do the right thing, but in a world run by money, they are very few. Id rather look up to a doctor than a lawyer. A doctor does more good by far, thats my opinion.

Answer 3

I'm a doctor, and I enjoy being one.  However, there are many times when I feel that a working knowledge of law would make my professional life easier.  I guess I'm going to have to hedge and say both!

Some schools now have combined MD/JD programs.  That's what I would do.

Answer 4

I'd rather be a lawyer. To me, it seems very exciting.

Answer 5

lawyers, and I mean ALL lawyers, are SCUM.  

Answer 6

I say being a lawyer is better, because you get better money.

Answer 7

a doctor helps.... =]

a lawyer phucks everyone over.

need I say more??
