hmm, not really for the money... i have this romantic image of lawyers, prestigious it may be, but also witty, intelligent, charming and champions at the law court. that's a very attractive image.
Dentistry? well i think it's because i think a lot of little kids nowadays (eg. my sister) eat too much lollies and have too many cavities and fillings, and i wanna stop that. i dun mind staring into people's mouth, as long as after cleaning them they're nice and white.
Medicine? you could say it kinda runs in the family... my dad's an acupuncturist (a guy who sticks needles into people)... basically he sees a lot of pain-management, workers-compensation and occupational health related cases, where the people are in lots of pain; so i want to relieve people's pain - that's the main reason i wanna do medicine.
