Would someone care to enumerate "the" list in some order? Is the key income, occupation, or ???? The proverbial mother's list I know is based on occupation ordered by median income (but lawyer's have taken quite a beating in the past few years). Therefore MD's are on top and one should prefer a poor MD to a rich anyone else. That's as far as I'm willing to go. Still, if I believed in "the list", that's not the one I'd use. I've seen MD precursors, and it's not pretty. (No smiley face here; I'm not getting sick. Stanford pre-med's are supposed to be above average; there are 2% that I'd trust to check the oil.) What kind of relationship does one have with a "up"? -andy
