I was forced to use an attorney because of my situation; but for an affirmative benefit as is DACA, why would most people pay thousands for clerical work??

Surgery is no easy ride. A lawyer makes a mistake or typo on a form, and in most cases, it can be rectified. A bank makes a mistake, you lose some money. A doctor makes a mistake and it can cost a life; in OB you are talking about two lives. There are a lot of deficiencies in medicine, and a lot of physicians will take advantage of the universal badge of respectability that is the MD title; believe me, most are being weeded out. The availability of big data and digital medical information is taking care of that.

I agree with you that this is a free country and people are free to wast...er, dispose of their money as they see fit. Thousands of dollars is a very significant amount of most immigrants earnings/wages; I think the money would be put to better use in more sustainable investments, eg, health care and education.

Btw, and I mean this as a compliment, your writing has gotten more candid and authentic without being combative. It's reflective and better. I guess happiness will do that to you
