Assistant: Wow, that’s a hard one.  It’s actually pretty comparable, and a lot depends on how much time and money you have to dedicate to each, and what your priorities are.  

Let’s say you want to become a doctor right away.  Then yes, I would say a doctor is probably easier, but that’s not the right question, because you probably wouldn’t actually be a doctor at the start, you’d be an undergraduate student for four years, and in order to be a practicing doctor, you’d have to spend four more years in medical school.


Human: Is it harder to become a medical doctor or a lawyer?

Assistant: Both professions are incredibly challenging to get into and take years of study and practice to master.  For people in a particular geographic area, it is even harder to get into medical school, since the number of seats is limited.  In fact, people in the US often start applying to medical schools many years before they are actually ready to enroll.
