> They're watching how medical professionals are being treated and saying screw it!
This was a trend before the pandemic. The financials of becoming a doctor just don't make any damn sense any more. Sure you'll make more in the long run, but it's a grind to get there and you basically give up your 20's to get there. This has a lot of negative impacts on your social life and your ability to build any sort of financial stability until your 30's.
I'm really happy to see the change in attitude in medicine. Hospital leadership has been milking the Hypocratic Oath for all the can. Physicians (and other health care workers) are starting to realize this bullshit.

PS: I know it's not my place, but I'd really recommend having a conversation with your daughter about going into medicine. Take a peak at places like /r/medicalschool, /r/residency/, /r/medicine, and student doctor network.
