        Might this also have to to with the cost of undergraduate, med school, residency, the ability to study without having to work, being a lot more likely to be feasible if your parent is pulling down a doctor's salary?

        You don't mention writers. Or the effect if an absent parent, esp. via divorce, on a child's occupational decisions.

        Ask anyone who's tried to get a teaching job in an affluent NYC suburb how important nepotism is. You can't get in without it...

        I work at a med school. Children of doctors know what a hard career it is from observing their parents, which is why they make good candidates. No illusions.

        Interesting. Father was a professor. I fell into the vat. After repeated protests that I did not wish to become one.
