text: is it too late for medical school? i'm 20 yrs old, just graduated from business school. do u think its irrational to go for med school? 20 years is too late? girl are you wrong! i bet you think 30 is old. no it is never too late. but, do it for the right reasons. you can't do it for the money. the money is nice, but it is pale in comparison to the things you will have to do and learn to become a doctor. 20 years old is still a kid and you have no idea what the future holds for you. you probably still think getting drunk and attending parties is real fun. well forget it if you go to med school. you will have to do it on your own. join a study group with fellow classmates. but, only you have the chance to get past medical school. it is an achievement that only you can get.  they will not give you the answers, you have to earn them. you will grow up during that time and learn about real people and real things.  remember, you can't do it for the money. if you do, you will not last long. you have to have the desire to help people with the real possibility of no thanks or reward.
