Rabbi Dr.

"Should I go to college and medical school to be a doctor or go to a yeshiva to become a rabbi?"

So asked a young student at a yechiddus  with the Rebbe, (the young man had been leaning to go  to college.) 

 The Rebbe replied: - Go to yeshiva and become a rabbi. A doctor treats those who are already sick, and a rabbi, through his guidance and advice,  prevents people from becoming sick to begin with.
