Why Didn't You Go To Med School?

[Missy BSN]

Don't you get tired of friends/relatives asking you "Why didn't you go to med school?"

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone wants to be a doctor. I love what I do and I do what I love. Isn't that good enough?

Many of the nurses in my family went on to take up jobs other than nursing. It doesn't take "12-14 years" to become a doctor as you guys are saying. In addition, I had a cousin who just became a pharmacist and another who became a dentist.
