Maybe in other places, but the cybertronian colony I am from, Caminus, was far enough away from the war that we were essentially left alone. My fellow colonists prized art and expression above all else. I suppose going into medicine is seen as something of a betrayal of those ideals, although you could argue that it's expressing myself by pursuing it? Nautica thought so, anyway.
