I'd contend that getting licence to practice law or medicine is neither quick nor easy. Tech definitely has a lower barrier to entry and has plenty of positions that are far less tedious than equivalent (in terms of pay and status) careers in law and medicine.

I think there's much higher status in the average person in law or medicine versus the average tech person.

I don't think you can really have that same kind of status in tech without building something very significant which typically takes years of experience.
