I spent the last nine years of my life as a professional artist. I will be graduating the end of this year with my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering. I built my first house with by myself at the age of 21 and am now 25. I was horrible in high school didn’t care much made more at the time than any of the teachers in my school. So I thought I had my life figured out and let my grades go graduating with a GPA of 2.6 and 121 out of 164 students. Now I am doing well in college with a 3.98 GPA and still trying to hit a 4.0.

1. I don’t have much money saved up and I still have not got over the feeling of wanting to be a surgeon. I could keep doing what I am doing now and just cruise through the rest of my life comfortable, but this question eats me up inside everyday. “Did you do the best you could do with your life?” I want a job that means something. I don’t want to look back when I am 65 years old and say well those where some great pictures. Or that was a really complex script. I want to look back and know I pushed myself as far as I could. I want to know that I made every minute of my life worth something. I can visually see the body in my mind I know where every part of the body is and where it is located. I even know its function and how it works. I could draw a picture in detail of any organ, muscle, bone, or most of any part of the body with out looking at a thing. My whole life I have been fascinated with the human body and how it works.

   (Also, individual medical schools have different sets of requirements so make sure to check out their websites.)

3. I'm having the same problem myself. I'm 27, and I really want to go back to school. I did ok in highschool. Started college, didnt like it, wasnt feeling it, I just did alright. Now I really have a passion to become a physician assistant. I really want to do this. But I feel so old. Its going to take at least 10 years. I will be 37 starting a career. Sometimes I get so sad just thinking about it. But the most important thing is that I will never give up. Its what I want to do. I have to make it happen for myself. I dont want to get older saying I always wanted to do this or that. I will never know what will happen if I dont try. They always say its never too late to do anything. What do you have to lose? You only have one life. And you have to live it. And live it to the fullest I suggest. Good Luck. Dont worry. You will be fine.
4. I urge all people to follow their dreams, just keep this in my mind…I considered medical school when I was a senior in high school. So I talked to a couple doctors that went to church with me. They we're very encouraging but they left me with this thought…"If you want to succeed at med school and your internship and your residency, that can be ALL you want till you make it-you can desire nothing else but to be a doctor for about 10 years" Good Luck my friend.
5. Coming from a family of doctors, I always shunned the idea of following in the footsteps of all my cousins, aunts, uncle, and my own sister. I persued social science and politics and convinced myself that I wasn't going to see out to science, that I loved interactive and social humanities over the cold and calculating sciences. Yet coming to college, I realized that my true passion resided in studying sciences. Right now, I'm completing my science requirement for medical schools and will be applying for them soon.

   It's never too late in life to pursue what your heart really wants. The worse feeling in life is to one day look back on your life and feel regret for all the chances you passed. Expecially, since, in contemporary American Society, 25 is still young. So you definitely should not feel that your are too old to try for any carreer. In fact, my sister is currently 28 and she still has two years to go in medical school (she took some time off) and I have faith that she will have a successful and illustrious carreer despite her age.

   My only suggestion is to check out the requirements for medical school before taking any risks such as quitting your job, etc. As a student applying to medical school, I find that the requirements are much more extensive that for any other graduate program (law has no requirments and most arts and sciences graduate schools have very few except exams). I'm not sure if these requirements still hold for people who are not recent graduates.

   I've included some links below for more information if you want to research more.

   Also, If the requirments might be too much, but you still are interested in a career in medicine, you might consider nursing, the requirements less extensive and you still interact with patients and help out with surgeries.

   Good luck with everything and I wish you the best in making your dreams come true!

6. So what dose everyone think? Do you think 25 is to late in life to decide that you want to get into Med School and work on a degree to become a surgeon? I would like to hear your opinions and if you have any tips to help me on this long journey I am very curious to hear about them.
7. I don't think that it is too late. I mean, I would be finishing my undergraduate MD by that age, but there are a lot of people who don't get into medical school until they are around your age or older. There are a lot of people who stick around trying to make more money and save, and there are those who are trying to get their Master's and Doctoral degrees, so they don't plan on becoming a doctor or surgeon until their later years.
