It's never too late! I am a >25. But I have met doctors that didn't finish their residency until their late 30s or people that did something else in their 20s and it wasn't until their 30s that they decided to do something else and had to start from scratch. Go back to school and as long as you are stay focused you will be able to achieve your goals. Good luck.

I finished school but being a liberal arts major, it's pretty worthless so I'm kinda starting from zero too.

Not entirely sure what I'm gonna do though. That's my whole problem...

I suggest anything in math science medical an engineering fields. Anything else is worthless and you best take advantage of the two years you get. Real talk
