No, this doesn't feel like it holds up either. People looking to be doctors don't generally get chemistry PhD's. But those are the stats I'm looking at.

What are you talking about, people with chemistry PhD's are by definition doctors. Are you talking about physicians? You don't need to be a physician to develop medicine, a chemistry phd is more than enough to join a pharma company.
