I am an art conservator, age 50, looking for a career change. I am tired of fixing museum objects and want to fix people. I have been interested in foot care since I was a kid and if I don't make a career change now it will soon be too late. Is it too late already? Is it possible to start med school at this age (esp. while raising two teen-age kids?) If med school isn't an option (and it probably isn't) , how else can I get into foot care. Nursing? Any other option? Are there any certificate programs in Quebec, where I live? I don't really dream of working in a hospital - I imagine going to people's homes to treat them. I'm interested in working with the elderly and with diabetics in particular.
Before I did my masters in my field (in 1980!), I took the required prerequisites - chemistry and organic chemistry - but I have no other university level science courses. And apparently science has changed since then. (how is that possible?) So I have a lot of catching up to do before I can start in any kind of program, I'm sure. Any advice on a realistic plan for getting into conservative foot care at my age?
Thanks so much for your advice.
