I'm 29 years old, currently working as a Paramedic. I want to do medical research as a pathologist – I think it'd be fascinating to understand medicine and the human body at that level.
I have a bachelors already and will be done with my prereqs in time to apply for the May 2027 cycle.
I've already accepted the long residency path and being done at 40. I'm not looking forwards to the debt and school itself, but I see it as a necessary step.
The official numbers are that only 5% of new med students are over 30!
Am I insane? Should I just focus on starting a family and my "life"?
