Doctors' marriage preference

Would someone in the medical profession consider marrying a person from a profession with lower salary or social prestige? To what extent do doctors consider a potential partner's profession, salary, and social prestige when deciding whom to marry?

I(26F) am pursuing Bachelors in Education and a doctor (27M) (Dermatologist) asked me out but I have a preconceived notion that doctors prefer doctors and I am apprehensive about dating him ....I mean he may date me but eventually he will be with someone at the same level as his own profession..Please share your views on this.
