I'm soon be 30, female, not married. I applied to this cycle.
I recently started working as a travel nurse and fortunately, I started making money that I thought I never could as a nurse.
I grew up with a single mother and up until now, all my money went to my living expenses/tuitions/apps. So I feel like now it's my time to pay her back. But if I go back to school now, who knows how long it's going to take to make decent money again. Probably at least 7yrs. After all she has done for me, I think she should be able to enjoy her life a little before she gets too old.
I do want medicine but I'm thinking if I should take a year or two just to save/make enough for her retirement plan? But I'm also already "old" for med school. I don't know. I feel selfish for going after my dream while I can finally take care of my mom.
Is there any older students who can give me an advice? I would really appreciate it.
