Doctor Who?

I want to be a doctor for three reasons: it’s been in my family for years, it’s good money, and you get a lot of respect. I mean, come on, you save lives. You’re at a party or something and someone approaches you and asks what you do, and you say, “I’m a Doctor,” and immediately it’s “oh, wow, you’re an ubermensch or uberfrau” or whatever. Not like if you say I’m an elephant guy or a garbage man. You say you’re a taxman and suddenly you’re the shitbag of the universe. But say you’re a Doctor… Even if you’re an abortion doctor, you kill innocent baby fetuses for a living, you just casually leave that out and noone’s the wiser. If they ask you what kind, you just say, “oh, I work with kids…”
