I need an honest answer here from those who are medical school now. Even better if it's from someone who is in the same position as me now.
I'm 27 and my wife and I are on the verge of divorce and we have one child who is 8 months. By the time I start medical school, he'll probably be around 4 (I work full-time and go to college part-time.)
Obviously if we go through with the divorce, I'll have to pay child support which will not be a problem now, but will be later since I'll need to quit my job to attend medical school.
So here's my question, if we get a divorce, is it closing the doors for me to become a doctor? Because the way I see it now, it sure as hell looks like it. Now you can see my dilemma, it's either get a divorce and never become a doctor, or be married and miserable (if we can't work it out) so I can be a doctor.
Wife wants to keep trying but I'm sick of our marriage and I won't get into any details here. I just need an honest answer. She also doesn't work by the way.
