A job or profession doesn't define a person in my opinion unless someone lets it. More important in defining a person is probably their personal relationships. Your upbringing and relationships make you who you are. In my opinion, anyone defined solely by their job needs to get a life. Lets be realistic, jobs come and go. Alot of times by choice and sometimes not. When your on your deathbed it isn't going to be the CEO of the airline you worked at who's paying homage to you, its going to be your friends and family.
And I applaud you TM for offering to help others with advice for those interested. People will always need medical treatment, they may not need to go on vacation in Hawaii but they sure will need to get treatment when they're in pain.
