| I'm a 28 year old woman who graduated college 5 years ago. I'm thinking I want to go to medical school? Is it too late for me? |

| No, but do some research on what it will take, assuming you weren't pre-med as an undergraduate. Med school isn't like law school - you are expected to know some stuff going in. |

If you don't have children, then yes.
If you have children - only if their college education is already paid for. |

| No. I had a friend do this. Worked out great for him. |

| I think that's a great age to be a doctor. You've been out in the working world a bit and you know what you want and how to deal with people. I think a lot of doctors seem to have a bubble mentality. |

| Nope but it will be a haul and might be a challenge to get into a good school. Check out what pre reqs you need if you did not do pre med. any kids? Spouse on board? It can be tough on them. |

| Any idea about speciality? Your current finances and future compensation need to be considered. |

There are a couple other recent threads with this same question.
Both from the same person who wasn't married but wanted to be in the near future and have kids. |

| I am the OP of the aforementioned threads and it's not me. I decided to pursue further education to work in a pharmaceutical function. |

You are not even thirty yet.
I say go for it. The time will pass regardless, right? Make it count. You only get one shot at life. |
