[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]37. Two young kids. And a completely unrelated career. But suddenly I'm feeling the drive to study medicine and become a doctor and look after those who are ill and need healing.

Is it too late? [/quote]

If you're serious, you should go ahead and take the first steps in the process and see how you feel about it. I did this with nursing in my late 20s, which a small child. I took the prerequisite and got into a top nursing program but decided to stick with my career in the corporate world, at least until my child is older. I wasn't ready for the sacrifices of giving up income, time and lifestyle for something I wasn't even sure I would enjoy. I also worked in a large hospital as a CNA part time to get a feel for the medical environment before taking the plunge. Decided I like my cushy corporate lifestyle much better than working weekends, nights and 12 hr shifts, and holidays, especially as a single mom. Maybe I'll change my mind once my child is older, but I'm glad I at least thoroughly explored the option instead of just talking myself out of it.[/quote]
