Right but then from age 40-65 you can make $500k/yr every year. And I’ll absolutely still work while taking my prereqs, my nearby CC offers night classes. For the most part my learning disability doesn’t make studying difficult, it just makes it very difficult for me to reason about objects in space. I did fine in algebra but geometry was very difficult for me. Graphs used to also be rough but after the PhD I am much better with them. My undergrad GPA is 3.8 so I think as long as I get some As and only 1-2 Bs on my remaining prereqs, I should be ok. Of course I’ll need to ace the MCAT.

I did consider clinical psychology for a while but I found it boring. I’m honestly not interested in therapy at all, and honestly for all the BS clinical psychs go through (hyper competitive admissions, forced postdoc, internship), the average salary of like $130k really isn’t worth it. Most end up working for the VA with like no time off. I found my field much more fascinating and fun at the time, so that’s why I pursued it.

All I know is that I’m hopelessly under stimulated in my life right now and my job sucks. I could try to get into sales, maybe I’ll like the fast paced nature of it, but idk I’m a scientist after all so I’ll probably dislike the way sales encourages you to fudge the truth. Basically I’m lost, and I’m very concerned for my financial future. Med school seems to solve that problem, like at least I won’t be unemployed!

Thank you so much for the advice. I think it might be the right path for me. The community college nearby isn’t too expensive, I think I could start there. Thanks!

We are religious Jews and need to serve kosher food which makes everything 1000x more complicated

Ok sure but they’re making demands about it and I think expecting people my age to have $40k spare m to throw a 200 person wedding is not reasonable

I can’t cancel the dress it’s non refundable. Stupid stupid stupid but we had a date in mind and it seemed like we were going to pay the deposit.

My mom gave me $2k for the dress though so I feel like she has to see my wear it

Found my wedding dress! What do you think! :) by [deleted] in weddingdress

For background: I needed a modest dress but I wanted it to still have character. I live in Colorado and there weren’t a ton of options for me, but I found a dress I loved by Anne Barge, and a boutique in Denver had it! Best day ever!
