Medical Malpractice

Are girls wanting to go to law school or medical school "better people" in general? are better for dating?

So are girls who want to go onto law or medical school more independent and less selfish in general? Meaning, they're willing to work hard and go through all this trouble of getting 3 degrees just so they can make money for themselves, instead of picking up an easy job and hoping to marry a guy who will take care of the rest? My parents told me to avoid ambitious girls while other people have said that ambitious girls are hard working and they don't have the "depend on husband" mentality. Your opinions?

1. Sweet Question.... I guess it depends on the guy.... Some guys like to control and making more money is a way of control... others like the idea of Having a girl that takes care of herself financial It seems to me you want the independent ones .... but let me tell you something..... You will not have the control ...Some guys can not live with that So be true to yourself
2. I am one of those amitious girls.... I plan on going to medical school, but I agree with the other people, those girls wont need you and are pretty independent. and I don't know about laywers but doctors who spend that much time going to school just to save peoples lives don't sound very selfish to me.
3. Let's see - I'm a girl 2nd year medical school - I have lots of friends who are probably more ambitious than I am - some are law school, graphic design and accountants - some want to be professors or go into politics. Most all of them want to get married some day to a person that has as much to offer as they have - some will marry their high school sweet hearts - some will marry the local butcher - because "love" is blind - some might end up marrying a bartender because a lot of service people have degrees or are just as smart as doctors - but they have a gift to make people feel better just by listening - I think most women want a man who gives his best is patient, is honest and ready to commit - some people of superficial - and married based on bank account and professions - those are the ones I think your mom means to stay away from - "they are very very bad people"!
4. Make sure you go to school and get you a good job also ! So women will try to bully you if you let them !
5. umm, its not only over ambitious girls who can be trouble, but also guys. haha, my boyfriend broke off our 4 year old relationship to work in japan! that explains a lot! but when it comes to education, it really does not have much impact on how a person thinks about family life since much of it is learned from parents. a girl from medical school can be a good catch. but i wouldnt trust someone from law school. well, i have a cousin who went to law school and she is a wild cat! my current boyfriend's friend has a girlfriend who went to law school and she is so stuck up that she treates her boyfriend like a slave. her excuse is that she is better than all girls, he will never find anyone better than her and that she is smarter and makes more money than him. this gives her the right to be a b1tch!
6. You cannot say that a woman is a 'better' choice for a wife for being ambitious in her education and career compared to one who is not as ambitious. The reason is - it depends on what you want out of life and in your marriage - 'better' is relative. What do YOU want for your life and who do you want as your wife? What kind of marriage do you want? More traditional or not? Also - more education does not mean better person, it means more educated person.
7. It really depends on the girl. You are right, to where girls that work hard for their money are often more independent. However, they will also want their men to be the same way. Not many independent women want a man that they have to devote the rest of their evening to right after putting in a hard days work. Nor do they want to be handling all of the bills. I am independent, and while I make almost half of what my boyfriend makes, I refuse to take his money and often live on $50 between two weeks. I would feel horrible if I "borrowed" $20 for gas, knowing that he fronts most of the bills. You just need to find a girl with the right attitude in life.
8. I think it could go either way. My sister is in med school and she's an absolute doll. I think she's perfect. But I know some who are pretentious and bichy. Really depends on the girl. It's more her attitude and the personality I'd be worried about.
9. I'm getting my BA in May and then going to nursing school for my bsn-RN and probably my masters afterwards. My reason? I do not want to ever have to depend on any man for anything financially. I currently live with my boyfriend who works full time and makes enough money to support me while I finish school but I absolutely HATE my dependency on him for it and the sort of "power" I feel as though it gives him. I want to be able to have my own money and do with it what I please. The other part of me is going to nursing school so that I can actually help support my boyfriend so he doesn't have to work as many hours as he does and same goes for my parents. Just remember, it is not only overly ambitious girls who are problems.
