My friends brother is a doctor and he says the same stuff everyone is saying. His problems are worse since he knocked up this chick on a one night stand type of thing . My brother wanted to be a doctor. Told him to go the engineering route, but he decided on dual degree applied mathematics and computer science. His friend was leaning towards doctor too but decided against it after getting into MIT. Being a doctor isn't worth it if you are doing it for the money. Plenty of people going to school for less years and making more in other fields. Granted these are exceptionally bright people but people becoming doctors aren't exactly stupid.
I will say you don't have to be exceptionally bright to become a doctor, just hard working. To become a great doctor or match into a very competitive field is probably a different story
