You say that but what definition of "smart" or "smarter" are you using? Personally I've known doctors and lawyers both that might have been really good at what they did but couldn't even do something as simple as changing a tire on their car or the tractor the played with on the weekend, didn't know one end of a hammer from the other, couldn't tell you which side hot and cold were on without looking, wouldn't have known there was 120 volts in their receptical unless it bit them, don't know a lathe from a milling machine, have no clue how their home or car A/C works, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
To me someone being good at what they went to school for doesn't make them any "smarter" than anyone else, it just means they are good at their chosen field. What it doesn't do is make them any better, or smarter than someone else that is just as good in the field they chcose to go into.
Heck, just being a mechanic, especially a self employeed one means having to be able to do basically all of the things I mentioned above. Like I said before I've known doctors and lawers that couldn't do even one of them, much less all of them. On top of that I know my body well enough to take pain medication if I hurt, an antacid if I have heartburn, put on a splint if I break an arm, put on a bandage if I get cut, etc, etc, etc. In other words I have to have at least some of the skills of numerous other professions, including doctors, just to do my job.......Yet all a doctor has to do is work on a machine that doesn't really change and like another comment stated just sit there and say "I've done all I can do" and it be accepted, and still demand we pay for his new BMW and $500,000 house...........
Not saying I don't have respect for both doctors and lawyers both, as I do understand both fields are somewhat complicated. What I am saying just because they chose a field and do a good job at it, it is no more or less important than what hundreds of other professions do with far less compensation.........and they never get excuses made for them..........
