Hello all.
I have some concerns with being married and going to med school. I am nowhere close to being admitted but does anybody have experience on how to keep a marriage alive and well while being in med school? My wife will most likely work a low paying job unless she wants to go to grad school and she doesn't. How possible is it for me to pick up a couple 12 hr shifts a week at the hospital I work at during med school as a Patient Care Tech? I worry about paying my bills while not working that much with little income coming in. I live in the Midwest. It's not expensive to live here but wages aren't awesome either. And concerning my marriage, we don't have kids so how can I be sure to keep my marriage alive while my wife struggles to deal with the fact that I will be in med school. She doesn't view it as much of a priority as I do and doesn't value working like I do either. She will probably be ready for children too when I am in med school as she is 4 years older than me. And she won't work full time after having children either. How can I make it?
Thanks 🙂
