1. Because the vast majority of people are on the same kind of medicines: blood pressure pills, statins for their heart, antidepressants, diabetes drugs like metformin, sleep pills, pain pills, thyroid pills, birth control, antibiotics, etc.

2. They make a lot of money because it requires a lot of education, provides a life-saving service, and is extremely high risk and high responsibility. If they screw up, it could cost someone their lives.

3. They go to school for so long because they have to learn about a lot of incredibly complex topics in order to do their jobs well: microbiology, organic chemistry, anatomy, physiology, etc.
