The highest demand for the medical field: Britain's parents also want their children to become doctors; Reason- respect!

 

It is not only the middle class parents of India who dream of making their children doctors, parents of Britain also want their children to become doctors. Despite the emergence of many new professions that give more income and more fame, the craze for medicine is increasing.

According to data from the Universities and Colleges Admission Services, while the number of participants pursuing careers in other subjects has only doubled or tripled since 2014, the number of participants dreaming of a career in medicine has increased sixfold in the UK. It has grown at the rate of 18% since 2014.

Being a doctor in the family gives everyone respect

Career expert Charlie Ball says in Britain, the middle class looks at the medical profession with respect. In a family where there is a doctor, the whole family is looked upon with respect. This is the reason why parents put pressure on many children to become doctors despite their lack of interest. Seats are still few in UK medical schools. There is too much competition for that. That's why achieving it is considered a big deal.

Doctors' income decreased but demand increased

Ball says- According to the need of the market, there is a difference in the salary of different professions. At present, there is a shortage of experts in AI and other sectors of technology. Because of this, salaries are very high in many new professions. Compared to them, the earning of doctors after 7 years of long training is not much. The pressure and working hours have increased in this profession. Instead of increasing the income of doctors has decreased comparatively. Still the desire to become a doctor is increasing.

Most of the families are not even aware of the new job opportunities. Parents of middle class families in Britain feel that there is stability in the profession of doctors. They consider it a noble profession. That's why they want to make their children doctors. One reason is also the lack of information. Most of the families do not even know what kind of new job opportunities have come up now.

Migrant citizens want to make children doctors for respect

In Britain, migrants want to make children doctors for respect. Professor Pali Hangin, Chairman of the Changing Face of Medicine Commission, says – In most of the countries of the world, doctors are considered to be gods. Britain has a large population of migrants. They want their children to become doctors so that their family is respected in the British society.
