Why I want to go to this place

Well, I quit my job and career as a mechanical engineer. That’s the first step. Now I”m going to focus on healing my mind, body, spirit and generating money through options trading over the next couple years.

To go back to school is a huge undertaking and perhaps what I really want is not to actually go to med school, but perhaps there is a program that allows me to integrate the studies I’m interested in with a traditional medical background that rolls that into research?

Since I am older and I don’t want to spend 20 yrs in school, I will probably end up hiring people to help prep me for school, accelerate my learning abilities, etc. I’m sure those types of people are out there and with enough money, anything is possible, right?

Well, it certainly would be a miracle. God deals in miracles. One step at a time. Or, I’m wondering if the better thing is to generate a lot of money and find the people I want that are experts in their areas and utilize their expertise?

Hmmm…so much to think about? Time to hit the sack.

You’re right. You wouldnt want to waste the time going to Medical School.
It doesnt really give you the bang for your buck anymore.

Just Thinking Out Loud

Not really sure what direction I wanted to go in. Going to med school wouldn’t be to be a dr, rather a researcher. I love DOEs. It really was more for gaining knowledge and understanding more than anything else.

If I made my money in trading and my other business ventures, getting a medical degree is not for the money, as I can already do that. Is that warped?

If I was 20, maybe I’d be thinking different, but at 39, hmmmm…do I want to spend all those years in med school? Just trying to think of a “smart” way to do this.

43 and...

Well, there is no getting around the four years. You’ll either be 43 with an MD, or you’ll be 43 and retired as a trader. In either case, you’ll be 43 in four years.

Probably 45

I was taking a couple years off, so I’ll be 41 when I start, if I start. That would put me at 45.

Who knows, maybe you could convince me otherwise.
