I don't know who I respect more. Lawyers, I think, have the harder road. They're stereotyped as money-sucking leeches. Imagine trying to overcome that prejudice everyday. What's more, lawyers are paid on a case-by-case basis, no? (I'm not an attorney or anything, so I really don't know). No cases, no pay. No pay, no food. At that point, a law degree is about as much use as a BA in basket weaving.
Doctors, on the either hand, are more than recompensed for their work. They save lives! They work hard! And look at the long hours they put in, before, during, and after med school! We respect doctors for that.
But think about it. Doctors are all about knowing the symptoms and how to respond to illnesses. It's like being a car mechanic, except you've got one heck of a complicated car to understand. In other words, memorization. A legal career pits you against human minds, most of which are working for their own intents and purposes, regardless of the morality of their stance.
