I think this is why I get creeped out by ambitious people sometimes. I'd much rather my doctor be passionate about >medicine than be someone who decided medicine was more "prestigious" than nursing.

Like the alt-text here: "I never trust anyone who's more excited about success than about doing the thing they want to be successful at."
