Yeah. Most telling is the breakdown a lot of these kids (and lots of kids of every ethnic and cultural background pushed onto a med school track) have when they are forced into chemistry & organic chemistry classes in college, which have -real curves-. So not everyone can get an A. In fact, almost no one is going to get an A. Lots of them completely fall apart and have a hard time figuring out it is what they really want to be. Almost worse off are some of the people who do well and only have that breakdown when they’re out of their residency and realized they wanted to be a reporter or a chef or a businessman.

“...people who do well and only have that breakdown...”

I had a school mate in high school. Tall, dark, and handsome, Pres. of the Honor Society, Football Captain, siiigh!! With same last initial we often sat near each other—he was better in math, I was better in English, so we helped each other. Later hear he flunked out of Rennsalear(sp?) Polytech, oh well. Wish I knew how he actually turned out.

If you have survived medical school, the world is your oyster. Doctors earn so much money, that they could simply work a few years and then drop out and live on their savings if they wanted to retrain in something else at college (if retraining was required, a medical degree should be more than good enough for most other jobs) You can easily become a journalist or become a businessman (that doesn’t even need qualifications, all you need is the brains you were born with. My boss is a multimillionaire and he left school at 16 and never even went to university)...
