I question the truthfulness about you having a friend with experience in all 3,
not one person with all three... 3 different people...
and don't get upset with me, y'all.. . it's not my opinion, it's just what i've been told... yeah, the engineer may be downplaying it, or making it like it wasn't hard to make himself seem smart, i dunno.... i'm just relaying what i was told....

I mean, this has nothing to do with the curriculum. Plenty of lawyers are where they are at due to networking. I'm sure there is some politics involved in getting certain positions in the med field as well. I don't deny that my career is littered with situations where knowing someone helped me out. Doesn't have anything to do with how hard the degree was.
i agree with the nothing to do with the curriculum... but again, this is just what i was told, not my opinion... i have no knowledge of what engineering school entails... i took him at his word, then went back to drinking my Wild Turkey and Dew...

I did my PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics.
I have three friends that are Doctors.
My brother-in-law did Law school.
It's three completely different minds/fields of study.
I respect the hell out of each path though. My PhD was far from easy. The others worked their dicks off too.

swear, engineering majors act like no one else takes a hard class. Engineering is the easiest of those 3. It's an undergrad degree for fricks sake.
My long time friend got a BSEE in undergrad and then went to dental school and then into orthodontics, he said dental school was a breeze compared to undergrad EE, bulk memorization vs, analysis and problem solving. I would suspect it is more a function of what type of learning a individual is best suited for.

I think these types of comparisons are silly, but I will give a little insight into medical training, since I went through it.
I think we get hit from every direction. We learn very complicated biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, and pharmacology. We also have to digest an enormous volume of constantly changing material, as has been previously mentioned. We have soul crushing work hours and examinations. And to top it all off, we have to make life and death decisions.
At the end of the day, most people also hate us or think we are pompous and overpaid. It's quite a trip, lads.
ETA frick lawyers. Jk. Kinda.

I think the consensus is:
Med school
Engineering BS (only Chemical, Mechanical, and EE)
Law school
Med school
Engineering BS (only Chemical, Mechanical, and EE)
Law school
