Ok im halfway through medical school and im working and my fiancé is halfway through Law school and he’s working but now he wants to drop law and go to medical and his parents have money but don’t want to help if he leaves law school. He now wants my parents to help for medical school. Should they help him? AND IF THEY DO, IS IT RIGHT TO MAKE HIM SIGN A RE-PAYMENT CONTRACT?

I'm half way through medical school too, and I've mainly done it through student loans. A large majority of medical students leave medical school with a significant amount of debt. That is the trade off for attending medical school -- your career is an investment. Let your boyfriend make that investment for himself and don't let your parents invest in his future.
As well, as a medical student, I'm puzzled how someone can just drop one degree path and choose to go into medicine. Has he already been accepted to medical school, because that is a significant challenge for many people. It is said that getting into medical school is the hardest part and I firmly believe that. If he hasn't yet been accepted he should at least wait for an acceptance before dropping law.
Good luck!

hi there ....congratulations with getting half way through youre course and good luck with the rest ....now on to youre fianc'e his parents wont fund his change over to the medical course that you are doing ......i wonder why?could it be that he cant really stick a course and has cost his parents large sums of money ....and it could be that they have said to him well if you want to change course then fund it youre self ......to be really honest youre parents might well like him a lot but i really feel that they should NOT fund any of his courses is he really wanting to change course ......if he did he would find the funds him self and im not meaning to sound funny about it ...but it's not fair on youre parents and if they decided to go a head with this then i would go to a lawyer anmd get it properly done so that they do not lose out on any money ......youre fianc'e shouldnt have a problem with that....not when he intends to payevery last penny back .....dont you think ......happy new year ...take care xx

I would say that he needs to finish what he has started, showing he can commit to goals. He was given a gift, and needs to respect and honor that gift his parents have provided. That's the right thing to do.

he's already halfway through lae school--tellhim to bite the bullet and finish it--then go to medical when he's got a job to pay for it himself.

this is something that he should work out with his parents. he is the one that wants to make a change in his future career. they have been supporting him up until now - it's their choice what they want to do with helping him, now. i think you are putting yourself and your family in a sticky situation by getting involved in something this is strictly between your fiance and HIS family. i'd let him know that you support his career change decision but this is something that he has to work out with his OWN family. good luck to both of you.
