Almost all my cousins graduated from med school, AT WORST they have a business degree (and to be honest that's already looked down on). My family is the type where they consider doctors the highest and everything else not as good so of course I'm not gonna tell them. Thye look down on engineers too, i remember one of my uncles saying "so and so is ONLY an engineer", he's trying to say that person is not as "high in status" as him cause he's a doctor.

When I was younger all my family talked about was so and so went to med school , this person is so smart, this cousing got a scholarship blah blah... it was drilled in my head since I was born. Look where it lead me.
me and you are quite alike
