Hi everyone,
I am turning 34 soon (female) and I am two quarters from completing my masters in computer science with a 3.85 gpa. I have a job waiting in July thank goodness.
In undergrad I had some mental health issues mainly depression that messed with my grades. So I needed up with a 3.32 cGPA and probably a 3.0 sGPA.
I chose computer science because it is intellectually stimulating and as I developed psychosis from the long term depression (which is very well managed now) I didn’t think I could become a doctor anymore.
But reading this forum has made me started thinking that maybe I gave up on this dream too soon. I am happy with CS but I just don’t feel like it’s a calling like how many people view medicine. If I work for a few years as an sde I would save enough money for medical school and be able to have kids. At this point does it even make sense to think about medical school?
