I do not think the others are any better.
As an MD, you have to pay for 4 yrs of college (-200k) then work for 3 yrs residency minimum (30k while working 80hrs a week = 4000 hrs / yr) do a fellowship then if you want a specialty (30k for 3 -4 more years)
As a lawyer, it seems that 60% of lawyers work as non lawyers and cannot get jobs in their field.
I think all jobs as we knew it will tend to pay less with less benefits over time
