[quote=Anonymous]If you have the means to do it without having your spouse (and children?) suffer, go for it. Let's put it into the calculator and see, med school + residency and everything would means you'll be done around late 40's/50. Assuming you are truly content and happy, you might be able to pull it off until 70, which is around 20 years. But as other's have said, nursing seems like the most practicable and perhaps only feasible alternative for you. However, based on the reason you chose law (your medical heritage as an aforethought) would it be likely that you would feel that your family members would look down on you as being a "lowly nurse"? I also come from a family of doctors and I know for a fact that my mom (who gave up the medical field to become a SAHM) looks at doctors more highly than any other profession. Not sure about her views on nurses versus doctors though. [/quote]
