[quote=Anonymous]We have a friend who did this. He was 37 and had 2 kids in elementary school. He had a supporting wife who was able to support the family while the dad went to public med school. I am guessing they used up much of their savings to pay for this. He is now 40 and in 2nd year of med school. It took a while to take pre-reqs and study for MCATS and apply for med school. He will be minimum 45 years old when he finishes residency, most likely 46 or 47 if he specializes. I think they figure he will make a very good living after he is done and he will be able to pay for kids' colleges and save for retirement. I do think you need money to do this, whether it is family money, savings or a spouse who is a high earner. I don't know exactly how much his wife makes but I'm guessing 200k or so.[/quote]
