I'm a blogger (see the sidebar) but my sister is in medical school. She is actually much smarter than I am but, according to this improbably enjoyable Styles piece on Sunday, I am the one who my mom should be bragging about. You hear that Marcia! ME! Why? "In a culture that prizes risk and outsize reward - where professional heroes are college dropouts with billion-dollar Web sites - some doctors and lawyers feel they have slipped a notch in social status, drifting toward the safe-and-staid realm of dentists and accountants. It's not just because the professions have changed, but also because the standards of what makes a prestigious career have changed." My sister just delivered an infant! My last post got 13 page views! Who's the winner now!?!?!?
