If you’re a doctor or a lawyer, congrats, because you’re the right type of person and are automatically a professional success.<\/p>\n

I guess.<\/p>\n

If you’re one of those two, congrats, because your family and friends will actually be proud of you and boast about you.<\/p>\n

You’re a doctor or a lawyer, so that means you’re rich! ZOMG!<\/p>\n

That’s why it’s so sad when kids die. Had they lived and grown up they could have become doctors or lawyers.<\/p>\n

That’s why it’s so sad when kids fall into drug use and screw up their schooling. If they had stayed clean, they could have become doctors or lawyers.<\/p>\n

That’s why no one is nearly as worried about adult drug use, because they’re already too old to become doctors or lawyers apparently. Unless they are already.<\/p>\n

I mean, why else would you go to college? Why else would you major in biology or political science? What, are you just going to be some loser who works in a cubicle? Please. Unless your college years led to medical or law school, they were a waste of time and money.<\/p>\n

That’s why you’re horrified to find yourself in a mediocre office job at age 45. You aren’t a doctor or a lawyer, so your life has never been successful.<\/p>\n

If your mother thought you’d be anything but a doctor or a lawyer, she would have aborted you even if she were a staunch pro-lifer.<\/p>\n

Failing scores on the MCAT and LSAT are a leading cause of suicide.<\/p>\n

When you tell your second grade teacher what you want to be when you grow up, and your answer is anything other than doctor or lawyer, don’t be surprised when she and all your subsequent teachers seem to stop noticing you exist, while the kid sitting next to you wanting to take over his father’s law firm is the star pupil, and the teacher always grins sweetly at the girl across the room who dreams of working magic in the operating room.<\/p>\n

Look at all those kids on the honor roll, especially the ones with asterisks next to their names, denoting their straight A’s. If anything other than medicine or law is on their horizon, oh what a tragic waste of talent!<\/p>\n

If you’re a girl, well, that’s okay if you didn’t manage to be a doctor or a lawyer, so long as you marry one. Wait, you mean you didn’t marry a doctor or a lawyer? You aren’t going to get married at all? GASP! Failure!<\/p>\n

We must help ghetto kids get an education, so they can grow up to be doctors or lawyers. The ones who don’t can stay there and rot.<\/p>\n

We must never forget the disastrous attacks of September 11, 2001. After all, many doctors and lawyers perished.<\/p>\n
