No, it's not too late!! You should call a hospital and ask if you can meet with a neurologist to find out about the field and their experiences, etc. Someone in the field is the best source of info!!

Too late for what? You are only in the tenth grade? You need to do research and find out more about what a neurologist does. There are plenty of websites offering information for your questions and you can also go to the library. You should talk to your school counselor as well. Now is the time to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life,it's too late when you're past 75.

No, absolutely not. It is not too late. I would suggest speaking to your school councelor. That is what they do. They get you the classes you need so that you can get into the colleges that you want to. I hope that you make an appointment with one of your councelor's so that you can pursue this career, or, one similiar to it.
Neurologist's make alot of money, but, it is because they work very hard to become what they are. There is alot of hard work ahead of you if you pursue this career, but, interesting work at that. I wish you the best of luck. Keep your head on straight and never give up!

Are you in college prep classes? How are your grades? Those things have to be considered since you cannot just go to med school. If things dont seem like you could be a doc, all is not lost......your young and you have time to think about this. There are plenty of jobs in the medical field that pay lots of money. You could be a nurse, a physical therapist, Good Lord...the list goes on and on.....just do me a favor....Dont be a paramedic...unless you wanna work your rear off and barely get by. (like me) lol Good luck to you sweetie...I was just like you in high school. Never made a doc...but I am going to college now to be a nurse and Ive been a medic for 6 years.

you are only in the 10th grade, how is it too late?
You should do some research to see if this is what you really want to pursue. Watching something on TV and actually studying for it and doing it in real life, is very different.
TV will make anything look good or nice. Do some research.

from what i've been told, it's never too late. you could start medical school at the age of 30, and when you graduated, you'd still be a great dr. but neurology is a specialty field and you have to have good grades. no 10th grade is not too late.
neurologists make pretty good money, too. of course they have to pay off their student loans and they should be rewarded for their hard work and time in school.

You're are definitely not too late. Half the kids our age don't even know what they want to be yet. Just start studying it and make sure it's what you really want. Good luck and I hope you reach your goal when you grow up.
