I'm about to turn 29 years old and I am transferring from a community college to finish my BA in Biology at a major university.
Yes, I know, I started college late for various personal reasons...
Anyhow, I figure I'll be finished in two more years when I'll be 31.
My dream and ultimate goal is to go to Medical School. That would be another 4 years of school on top, so when I finished that I'd be 35. Then I'd have to do another 2-3 years of residency.
So I'd be about 38 or so by the time I'd be a truely independent adult working as a physician.
I'm very motivated to do all of this, but my age is a big discouraging factor for me.
My personal circumstances didn't allow me to go to college earlier.
What do you guys think? Am I too old? Am I taking on too much considering my age? After all, I'll be somewhat dependent on others financially well into my 30's.
