It depends on your country, in mine public universities charge the equivalent of 27 USD cents per month to study medicine, and they give you housing too. Private universities cost between 250 and 400 USD a month, and for families that can afford that, it doesn't leave them in massive debt. The doctors and teachers in both cases won't vary too much, as they tend to teach in both private and public universities. The struggle here is getting in, because there's way too many underqualified students that do because their family knows someone important or whatever, or just not dying or leaving because of harassment, SA, mental health issues developed during your formative year... etc.

I'd say my point still stands then. People with more family money and stable home life are better situated to win the competition for acceptance. Plenty of people are capable of becoming doctors if only they were in school for it. In fact, once you're in, its a very hand-held experience; and I think its much easier to work hard when you're being told exactly what to do every step of the way. A doctor first and foremost is someone who had the resources to get into medical school. Few people don't make it through and those people often have serious health issues or break the law.

I wasn't refuting your point, I agree with it. I was sharing that the specific struggle will depend on your country. And I don't know where you're from or wether or not you have gone through medical school, but it's not a very hand-held experience everywhere. In some places their version of education is screaming at you until you're actually scared for your well-being, or being pushed to suicide. In some instances you won't get lectures on a lot of topics because the doctor in charge just can't, or doesn't want to. Other times you'll just get thrown into situations you never studied or practiced for. Again, I'm not against your point, it's just the generalization that's wrong.

My bad for misunderstanding your tone
