<p>This argument is pretty silly, in a capitalist system we all know that business is essential, it’s the only way anything gets done. I know what nj is saying: people go into medicine because they want to feel like they really made a difference, they want to see their effect on the world every day in their patients whereas your typical businessman/woman carries out his or her job typically with less consideration for the consequences. It’s really a question of job satisfaction, because you can’t deny that both professions are vital. As doctors/future doctors it’s cool to be proud of what we’re going to do. Pride only goes wrong when you degrade others to build yourself.</p>
