In 2000s a lot of young graduates dreamt to be a lower!) It was very prestigious to became a freshman at juristic faculty. At the same time, there were more abilities to pass exams at medical academy. Now, we have a lot of lowers, but there are not almost these who are eager to be a medical worker due to no financial stability at all(((
Now, for example, I am one of the younger specialists at my hospital. The basic ones are over 50 yo.
