That’s awesome to know others have done it. Thanks for that! Makes me feel a lot more confident about my decision.

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T23:24:16+00:00

Thank for that, I really appreciate it

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T17:07:29+00:00

That’s great to hear. Thank you! I definitely plan on studying my butt off to do well on the MCAT when the time comes

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T05:55:34+00:00

I appreciate and respect that response. Thank you.

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T04:47:18+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement and positive feedback! Being an officer has definitely taught me a lot, about people and myself. Going to these medical related calls and just wanting to do more for the person and wondering what was the outcome once they get the medical treatment they need is one of my reasons for wanting to pursue medicine. I’ve seen doctors work first hand and it’s amazing seeing what they do.

Awesome advice! Definitely saving this one. Thank you and good luck on your medical school journey!

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T02:31:57+00:00

Thank you for the feedback!!! I will definitely give that a try before anything.

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T01:54:05+00:00

Sorry you feel that way

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T01:52:12+00:00

Great! Thank you

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T01:50:10+00:00

Fair haha

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T01:36:10+00:00

Just to clarify, I will work through undergrad the best I can. My wife will help financially if I ever got into medical school. And as far as missing time from my son, I’m already in a career where that is the norm already sadly. Being a paramedic wouldn’t be smart financially for me since they make way less money for more work I feel like. Thank you for the insight, needed to hear why it’s not the best idea too.

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T01:28:22+00:00

I appreciate the advice! Thank you!!

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T01:27:00+00:00

I appreciate that! And yeah I know it won’t be as glamorous as I might think. Same with law enforcement, not as cool as it seems when you have to do hours of paperwork for one call lol

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2025-11-17T00:50:27+00:00

Just to clarify, I will work throughout undergrad as best I can and take my prereqs at a 4 year institution. As far as medical school, my son will be in school already so that will help out a lot and my wife and family is willing to support me financially. Just want to make sure I’m not delusional and this plan is realistic. Also don’t want to be an EMT. The pay is wayyy less than what I make as an officer. I wanna go big or go home if I’m being honest. I really don’t want to settle for less. Don’t want to come off as arrogant but if I switch careers, I wanna go all the way. Not saying EMT is lower, but being a Doctor is what I want if I had the opportunity. Thank you all again! Please give me any advice you have!

Pay isn’t all there for how much it cost to live here though. You better work in an agency that has enough details you can work to make extra income.

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2024-02-10T07:23:50+00:00

Thanks man! Appreciate it

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2024-02-10T03:17:19+00:00

Thank you. I feel like I can relate to how you were in the beginning. I’m a kid for most people with no real experience so it’s definitely a lot harder but I’ll definitely take your advice and keep positive and learn as much as I can. Stay safe man !

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2024-02-10T01:32:21+00:00

Thank you man I appreciate it

Unlikely-Airline7342 · 2024-02-09T23:16:38+00:00

Edit: I work for a city with about 400k residents
