<p>Who work harder, law students or med, and lawyer vs. doctor?</p>

<p>It's a matter of timing...</p>

<p>There is far more variety in the set up of med school curriculum (traditional, "core", problem based) than with law school. I'd say that if you're in a "core" set up like I am (with one science class at a time and tests every 2-3 weeks) then med students at least when comparing 1L vs M1. For traditional curriculum it's probably pretty equal until second year.</p>

<p>For third year definitely med students. Everyone works harder than M4's...</p>

<p>As for associates vs. residents. Probably associates, as there is no 80 hour a week national cap on hours worked like there are residents.</p>

<p>Lawyers vs. Docs. Depends on the specialty that the MD is in. And also how their practice is set up. Very hard to gage.</p>

<p>Ia gree with Bigredmed, but for me I really would have to say a doctor especially with being on call almost 24/7.</p>

<p>Being on call is a matter of specialty (Dermatologists are never on call) and/or practice set up, (many general surgery group practices alternate call). And just because you are on call doesn't mean that you are necessarily working.</p>
