Overrated Career: Medical Scientist
Most people choose to become medical researchers because they'd enjoy solving science puzzles that could lead to medical discoveries. Your chances of doing that are probably greater as a medical librarian because every day, whether you're employed at a university, a hospital, or a pharmaceutical company, you're solving lots of people's problems by unearthing the resources they need.
Basically they say that the training time does not reward you with a lot of money and you're unlikely to make any significant discoveries. Medical librarians make about the same or more, for less schooling (a Master's rather than an PhD), work in better environments for less hours, and are constantly being challenged into looking for information about different areas of medicine.
