I'm looking for a bit of advice.
I'm 23, from Canada, looking to finally realize my potential and am considering applying for medicine. I've always been a bit undisciplined but have excelled in any field I've set foot in. I've taken some University, maybe the equivalent of a years worth of classes, and have found it exceptionally easy - scoring 80's and 90's without much trouble.
I've always had an interest in medicine, my family being nurses, doctors and psychiatrists, but it's been difficult for me to settle and focus with my diversity of interests. Boredom has been a prominent part of my life.
Now I'm 23, it would be necessary I complete 2 years of senior level courses, write my MCATS, apply, and finish school. At best a 8-9 year venture.
Am I getting into this to late in my life? I'm confident I can do it, that's not the issue, it's whether I am going to be able to give up the lifestyle I live now for one of dedicated study.
