I don't want to burden you with a long story.
Basically I always had a love for medicine but haven't had much opportunity to go into such a requiring and tedious field.
My family/economical Life wasn't quite optimal for medical school.
To please my mother I went to college and have gotten my associates and bachelors in business since they weren't as long, expensive or difficult and allowed me to part time.
Now at 24 I'm working in entry level business without much satisfaction at all. Still I have a greater yearning for medicine.
At my mid 20's I'm so stuck, it's so hard now to go into medicine for obvious reasons mainly economical.
Is it as rewarding as I hope it is once a doctor?
I have to soon theoretically get married, sustain a family and have good income help my folks and younger siblings.
I truly have no real guidance or advice on medical school or process.
I have in mind either doing opthomology (OD or DO) or with even greater passion Oncology (which is harder and longer and more $ which I don't even know where to get scholarships for or borrow) or possibly pediatrics.
I'm ripping my hair out thinking of this.
People have often told me to Persue and I have been oddly told numerous times by doctors even just in public like an MTA train that I look like a MD.
What do you recommend or suggest?
What's the steps?
Where do I seek help for guidance on path and also for $ and scholarships?
Thanks
