Positive role models. It's difficult in a way though because not everyone or anyone can aspire to be one... the road is so hard, so many financial, emotional, and physical sacrifices go into being a medical professional. Anyway... I think they should set a good standard for the community they are in by involving themselves in community service and health education as well as practicing medicine.

A profession is an occupation that requires extensive training and the study and mastery of specialized knowledge, and usually has a professional association, ethical code and process of certification or licensing. Examples are law, medicine, finance, the military, nursing, the clergy and engineering.\n\nClassically, there were only four professions: the church, the military, medicine, and law. All these held a specific code of ethics, and members were almost universally required to swear some form of oath to uphold those ethics. Each profession also provided and required extensive training in the meaning, value and importance of that oath in the practice of the profession.\n\nSociologists have been known to define professionalism as self-defined power elitism or as organised exclusivity along guild lines, much in the sense that George Bernard Shaw characterised all professions as "conspiracies against the laity". Sociological definitions of professionalism involving checklists of perceived or claimed characteristics (altruism, self-governance, esoteric knowledge, special skills, ethical behavior, etc.) became less fashionable in the late 20th century.\n\nA member of a profession is termed a professional. However, professional is also used for the acceptance of payment for an activity, in contrast to amateur. A professional sportsperson, for example, is one who receives payment for participating in sport, but sport is not generally considered a profession.

I'd have to guess *mother*.  If you are a woman with a child then, even if you are busy with another career, you must still be Mom.

I would agree to medical or nursing mandatory service only if all other degreed professions including law, computer science, education, engineering, business, political sciences etc. were also required to participate in mandatory service. Such a universal public service participation would truly benefit society, in my opinion.  But, if it is not universal and requires only selected professions to participate, it benefits only a particular group's hidden political/economic agenda.  Whenever a particular component of an economic system is isolated for manipulative change, that group should recognize its particular advantages of being somehow necessary in someone's plan.  Such a group should not wait for discussions or "offers'' of fair social compensation but should initiate strong negotiations and demands.  If they don't, they need to do what they are told as children.

I read somewhere that people on average have 3 seperate carreers in their lives, each carreer spanning different time periods. I thought that was surprising, too bad I don't have the source available. It sounds like starting a new career might be a good idea for most people.
