[quote=Anonymous]I would say forget it. First you have to ensure you have the correct undgrad courses, take the MCAT and then get into a local medical school (assuming you want to stay in the area). Then you have to go into $300,000 of debt to pay for 4 years of med school. Then assuming you land an internship/residency locally (difficult to do), you won't make much money for those years. If you do anything highly specialized, it will require more training. Now you are in your mid to late 30's and you have to land your first job (relatively low paying) and put in long hours to "pay your dues." Good luck. Most physicians I know are going into concierge practices or leaving medical practice entirely to have a normal life and not have to deal with insurance companies, etc....[/quote]
