you didnt say anything about bright. You said "power, money, prestige, exclusivity".

If a person were looking for those things and didnt care about helping people, why would they want to be a doctor? All that school and all that work.

I can think of a bunch of careers off the top of my head where they could get all of the things you are talking about (power, money, prestige, exclusivity) and it wouldnt cost them 12 years and a quarter million dollars in student loans.
