1. I had a childhood friend that became a Doctor |
|
and within a few months of graduation I couldn't stand to even be around him. He turned into a materialistic asshole almost over night. I'm not saying your friend will too, but it's certainly happened before.

you would be wise not to generalize. Seeing as docs 4 months out of med school are making $35,000/yr for 120 hours a week, perhaps your friend's transformation has more to do with your friend than with his profession.

19. He made much more than that |
|
But it was after his residency. Somehow he bought in to a practice and was making bank right off the bat. He would not stop talking about all the money he was making. Of course I'm not generalizing the profession as a whole.. Just him.

21. Well, that's different |
|
Residency takes 6-10 years after graduating from med school. No one straight out of school is making any money to speak of--in fact, generally, if you do the math out, per hour, young docs are making under minimum wage.

7. I've got an ex boyfriend like that. |
|
I'm still hornswoggled. No "doctor" in front of his name, but might as well.
He and I broke up and got back together 3 times because he was such a stoner. I loved him, but hated the drugs. We finally broke up a final time, I moved away and finally got my degree.
He got married to some bimbo, went back to school, got a degree, and became some muckity muck for the freaking United Way. This is the guy who couldn't go more than a few hours without a bong.
He wouldn't change for me, but he did it for her. THAT pissed me off. Well, they got divorced and we hooked up a few years ago before I got married and he got married to wife #2.
It gave me a distinct thrill to hear him say how I'd been right, and how he'd been a real asshole to me all that time.

20. You think that's bad? |
|
Try watching your sister, who happens to be eight years younger, get a DR in front of her name. I'm book-ended by doctors, as my older brother is also a doctor.

22. It's even weirder after they've had that Dr. a few years |
|
And they buy a tropical island with a volcano.
And they acquire a large group of token bodyguards.
And they start wearing a monacle + buy a rare and expensive furry cat.
And they end up acquiring a few ICBMs and blow up a few bridges as a "demonstration of power" to the United Nations.
