The cliche is Asian parents bullying their kids into it “because money”
Sad.
A fancy car does not equal any respect from me.
Generally reduces respect from me.
It really is ridiculous - I'm in the higher income bracket in my country but drive an almost 15 year old tiny car that uses less gas than most modern cars and people keep asking me if I only got my girlfriend's car today if I show up with that...
In my limited observation, everything in capitalist societies revolve around money (power) and appearances (illusion).
I hope you are not talking about medicine as the example lists. In a capitalist society these roles remain undervalued and most people struggle for much of their career to pay debts. If you are going into medicine to get rich you are ill advised and foolish.
Sorry someone hurt you, but this is just a very skewed view. Medicine is one of only a few fields requiring high degrees of training and investment that isn't keeping up with inflammation year after year. If you just against an upper middle class in general that's a bigger issue that you aren't going to solve anytime soon. If you think people aren't entering the field for it's payoff, don't take my word for it look at all the alternatives with better pay and less debt. Sure there are some bad seeds out there, but they are also fools and a minority. I hope you find better healthcare in the future, and I'm all for healthcare reform and you guessed wrong (for Christs sake, I'm on Lemmy - why are you betting against obvious statistics).
