Maybe you guys should have been nursing majors.
You out smarted yourself, tweezers! You should've listened to your dad! As an example, my son is now an MD and although he works a lot, including some long stretches, he gets to surf a lot (in SoCal). And snowboard in the winter. So, being a MD isn't all bad.

If it makes you feel better, his GF is Vietnamese.
