<p>Yeah, it’s quite egotistical to think that only doctors provide a useful service in life. I mean, I like to make fun of business majors as much as the next guy, but the truth is, they’re the smart ones. They do a lot less work during undergrad, generally get a job after graduation, have a lot of potential for advancement, and will have regular hours, little debt relatively speaking, and will begin earning several years before prospective docs, all without most of the stress.</p>
<p>To DorkAlert: if you and your friends don’t fit the pre-med mold, that’s great. We need more pre-meds like that, because then I wouldn’t be ashamed to associate myself with premeds! But the truth is, the majority of premeds (and other preprofessionals, like pre-law and others) do behave like the typical, cutthroat, grade-grubbing, poorly-liked stereotype.</p>
