Most of you know my story so I won't explain my situation all over again.
Is this a crazy idea.....
Since things are so chaotic for me currently and I have so many unknowns about the future, my situation with family , support and childcare etc.......
I need research experience for grad school before I can consider anything else. I need chem/phy prereqs for med school which was original plan. I am currently enrolled in Chemistry for next term coming up because I needed to do something, I cannot sit stagnant anymore and I have some GI bill left. What if I continue to knock out these prereqs, keep my GPA high (3.8, 3,9 psych) while at the same time exploring options for research experience and getting into that area until I find something .
Ultimately, what if I work towards med school AND grad school and see where I end up going with it? My rationale is this, the extra science courses won't hurt me getting into grad school nor will they necessarily help. The research experience will actually help me with med school and I need it for grad school.
I have to start moving forward and I may have a lot of unknown variables right now, but I am 30 years old lol...I have to push forward
