Universally, that's the first comment.
Followed by:

Notoriety

Law.

I had one lass come up to me in a pub asking me what I do/study. Told her and politely turned back to my friends, to which she responded by loudly harassing me saying I defend murderers and rapists, and saying I should be put in prison. It got so bad the manager called a bouncer over to kick her out.

Little does she know that I am in it for the money and don't give two shites about criminal law or defending people's rights.

It’s mostly family members. I don’t tell strangers that I’m a medical student.

“Doctor, look at my arse, I think it’s broken. You see this massive crack?”

You probably need an oil change to sort that out.

But then again, you already know that...

Vet Medicine

"I have a dog/cat/hamster/woolly mammoth" (Ok... cool?)
"Oh, my dog has X symptom, do you know what's wrong with it" (From just your description, while I'm still unqualified. Of course I can diagnose that)
"You're going to be rich" (In my dreams)
"It's seven years of study, right?" (No? It's five and has been for years? Literally no idea where this ever came from)
"Do you have to stick your hands up cows' bums" (pls :emo:

)

Although I don't start it till September whenever I tell people I'm going for Microbiology I always get:

"That's so boring why wouldn't you work with animals instead?"

"Is it because you're small?"

"Couldn't you get, like, infected?"
