Reply #17: Sounds like you're a great advisor but still think the same way

Legal and Medical majors will always have it easier, since they require a degree in order to practice it. Unlike other fields, where noneducated folks can walk in and start doing the work. Legal and Medical degrees instantly wipe out competition in the field. Of course no field 100% guarantees income, even a heart surgeon can be poor under the right circumstances.

Also, I had a loan that I was not required to start paying for a couple of years, so I did not feel pressured to get a high paying job right after graduation. I think this was better overall (albeit stressful) because I was able to try a few temp jobs and broaden my experience. Regardless of what others think, I feel I am better as a result.
