[quote=Anonymous]Geez, you people are depressing!  OP, you decided to ask some of the most risk averse people in the most risk averse town about taking a big chance in life and you got the expected answers.  Of course finances are a consideration, but you just never know until you try what can be worked out in the long run.  However, before you get to the financial considerations regarding medical school, why don't you start studying for the MCAT and see how that goes?  If you do well, apply!  What do you have to lose?  It doesn't mean that you have to accept.  And, if you do, perhaps the financial end can be worked out.  When you graduate, you actually do get paid as a resident, not much, but you get paid.  And, after that, you are likely to be making a good salary in most of the medical specialties, some of which have residencies that are only about four years.  But, let's not get ahead of ourselves.  If you take it all one step at a time, you can see for yourself what is possible and what if not given your individual circumstances.  One thing is for sure, though, if you don't at least try, you will never know.  You only get one life OP.  Leave no regrets behind, and for the love of God, stop listening to the unhappy lawyers and office drones on this board!

Signed, an unhappy lawyer who is older than you, has taken all of the prereqs and is going to take the MCAT even though none of this makes sense financially (might as well put my hat in the ring, why the hell not?)       [/quote]
