lots of people pursue graduate degrees in fields unrelated to their bachelor's degree. Some common examples include doctors and lawyers and such.

yeah but i think with doctors/lawyers there can be a common trend about what their undergrad diplomas were...poly sci/business/classics/theraputics not oddball/focused degrees like comp sci or dance..

That's not exactly true... in fact, as a group, music majors have the highest acceptance rate into Medical School (of course there's a reason for that -- probably self-selection, but that's not the point).

I think it's more that with Medical School and Law School, it's like, you can come from any background; they'll teach you what you need to know THERE, as long as you have learned the ability to use your brain (and have taken some requisite courses in the case of Medical School, but not necessarily have a major in like Molecular Biology).
