I Want to Leave

I love my family, and that is the only thing that is currently holding me back. Although it does pain me to leave my s/o, and his words make it clear to me that he fears me leaving--it'd probably be for the best on that end. I don't know...

I've dreamt of nothing more than to attend a good medical school. I'd have to wait another 6 years here, but I can admit myself to the medical school in Mexico City this coming Fall. i have the opportunity to shave three/four years off of my college career, but I'M AFRAID.

The idea leaves me feeling so vulnerable.

I'm currently working part-time at a pharmacy, and that is barely sufficient enough to cover my current needs. I can't even imagine having to leave that misery of a work place to go to Mexico--a place where i'd have no job, no source of income... how am I going to support myself there? Obviously getting a job in Mexico is always an option--but how many hours would I have to put up for some pocket change?

Aside from money, there is so much more to be considered...

Sure If you wish to practice the medicine you learned in a third world country on the inhabitants of that country then yes go ahead .

Cutting corners wastes time and money. Do your undergrad here in the US and apply to Med school here in the US .

Why be afraid
You have options and just decide
Get your medical degree
And then choose wisely for your speciality
Medicine is not just a profession it's a life choice with sacrifices and rewards along the way...
i would be willing to help and support you if you made this decision.
