I started my undergraduate degree in Biology in 1996 at the age of 21, with the intention of eventually going to medical school. By age 22 I left school to open my own business, one that I had always dreamed of owning, but realistically never thought would be possible. So here I am now 29 years old, with a successful business, but still inside I feel there is something missing. So I decided last year to go back to school. I started taking classes this semester with the intentions of going to Nursing school. But I don't know if this is the right thing to do. I have about 30 credits and am not sure if I should go to Nursing school, get my BSN, and then take my pre-med courses. Or should I go pre-med now, and if things just don't work out try an accelerated BSN program later, like maybe during my glide year? And of course, I am very concerned about my age. I'll be 32 by the time I finish up my undergrad, add on another 8 years for med school and residency, now we're talking 40 years old !$@#!!! Am I nuts for wanting to do this? I also have my wife and young child(18 months) to consider... She says she'll support me with whatever decision I make, but I don't know if she realizes the sacrifices we might have to make... Anyway thanks in advance for any replies ...
