Secondly, yes they're too smart for this industry. Why would you invest so much for minimal return? 8 years of medicine costs less than a MECIR + ATPL subjects. Troubling really. However, from speaking to someone doing their speciality in pediatrics, the speciality takes longer and is more cost intensive. Further though, there are more scholarships and funding in public universities such as UNSW, Sydney, Melbourne, UQ etc for these professions. Where is the scholarship funding in ours?

No scholarships would suggest to me that the industry has lost its prestigious position among the science faculty. Why? Due to the rise of penny pinching and the striping of conditions.
You’re also forgetting that in the medical industry that doctors control the supply of doctors.
