[quote=Anonymous]I'll preface this by saying that I come from a long line of doctors, and due to youthful rebellion decided to go in the opposite direction (law). I've been a practicing lawyer for over 12 years and I make a really good living. But for years I've struggled with the underlying thought that I just made a bad choice all those years ago, and that I could be doing something more worthwhile and suited to my personality if I was a doctor. I have stuffed the feeling down because of the practicalities of everything -- I'm almost 40, I'd need to do some pre-reqs at night, how would I support my family if I was accepted at all? Did any of you follow your deep down feeling and change careers drastically, despite the practical arguments against it? How did it turn out and would you do it again? I know it seems crazy but I can't shake it.[/quote]
