If you’re considering marrying someone who wants to be (or already is) an attorney or a doctor, don’t.
People are pissed about this because it’s true.
I know 11 lawyers and medical doctors between 30-45 yrs old.
1 works less than 70 hrs a week.
3 of the 7 who got married are divorced.
I know this is a small sample size. But I’ve seen enough to form a strong opinion.

If you agree with everything someone else thinks, says, or believes - you aren’t going to get any smarter hanging around each other.
Here’s my logic.
I’ve been thinking hard about this lately.
I can’t say I’d be excited if my son or daughter told me they were dating a law or med student.
I’d be heartbroken honestly.
Sad, but how I feel.
It’s a loosely held opinion. The discussion here is helpful.

I know a lot of folks in other professions are equally addicted to their work.
But they’re working to get ahead.
The lawyers and docs I know are working to stay afloat.
They literally feel trapped and forced to grind and have no way out.

It’s interesting that so many folks who are in the thick of it or have friends in the thick of it have chosen to be vulnerable and share.
Others have called me names and claimed this is an ignorant take.
Decide for yourself, like we all are entitled to do.

The part that is so sad about all of this:
Most of the time it’s the ego and ignorance of THE PARENTS who send 20yr old kids down this path.
And by the time the folks trying to do it figure it out it’s too late.
Hundreds of thousands in debt or trapped in the golden handcuffs.

The solution?
Let’s get rid of the brutal working conditions at our major hospitals and residency programs.
It shouldn’t only be private practice / elective folks who get to have a life, a family, and an enjoyable career. https://twitter.com/cyclebob/status/1390493150028996613">https://twitter.com/cyclebob/...

@peterthiel said it best.
If you are looking for someone to regurgitate the same mainstream viewpoints I’m not your guy.

If you want to disagree with me often, but every now and again think about something a bit differently, see ya around!

I changed my mind on something here after doing some reflecting.
MANY of the 50+ yr old doctors and attorneys are some of the happiest folks I know with wealth, relationships, and time. They have it all.
There is no easy path. They have character from the struggle.
