Actually, it's not so uncommon in Iran. Although physicians in Iran, in particular those with a specialty, have very high incomes, some even higher than the average income of their counterparts in the West. But for various reasons, some of them choose to pursue other jobs. According to official reports, of 80,000 general practitioners, 25,000 do not actively work as a physician. (Of course, some of them may have become residents or be preparing for the residency exam.) Anyway, the percentage is high, especially among GPs. Among specialists, it's lower.
