Bro. I won't lie to you. Focus on ur business and grow it as if you are studying Medicine. Within the 6 years it will take you to acquire a MBBS certificate, you could have gathered enough money to build a hospital and employ doctors 5 Likes |

The medical profession is one of those professions which should not be limited by age, especially given the chronic shortage of qualified doctors in this country. As long as you're competent enough, I don't care if you're 25 or 55, just go for it. isgombe: 4 Likes |

isgombe:Someone offered u a wise counsel but you are asking why. You don't sound like a prospective medical student to me. If you were competitive enough, you'd apply to a fully accredited medical school. You'd not also be talking about 'medical business'. A school has not been fully accredited and has not graduated students for 9 years, and that's still an option for u of all the medical schools in Nigeria. In summary, my one Kobo advice for u is to go for medicine if you have a passion and calling for it, and not because of money. I also lend my voice to the one advising you to enroll in a fully accredited school only. 4 Likes 1 Share |

isgombe: Exclusively my opinion and candid advice to you! My dear, life is a mission. We all have different visions and targets. The climax of it is its fulfilment. Age doesn't matter. Provided you have something to drive, finance and sustain your life, do not care about how long it took you to fulfill your dreams. If you are looking at how long, you might not achieve it. Focus on how well and feasibility of achieving your dreams. Some people equally achieve similar feat at 50s and 60s. Concentrate on how best. As for me I don't mind achieving such dream at 50s or 60s. It is how best that matters. And your best is what you give to the society. Your impact on the society is a bedrock of your assessment. Some people became medical doctors in their late tens and early twenties and spent their entire life without much impact. Nobody knew of their existence. Whereas some made it in sixties, impacted positively on the society and were celebrated and being remembered. Above all, let your instinct guard you. 3 Likes |

Go where ever your heart leads you to. I will give you an instance with my Dad. He always wanted aPh.DD. But couldn't achieve this feat. When he retired at 70, He started the program this year. In your case, You already have a degree, even made an upper credit. Use that Money you raised to start up a shop and fund your postgraduate studies to Canada or the USA. Unemployment dey every career in Nigeria. Even for medical doctors! |

Age doesn't matter in the pursuit of knowledge. We've seen 70-year olds go back to school. We've seen parents and children sitting in the same class. If that's what you truly want, go for it. But...weigh your options carefully. Can you run a shop and face the rigours of studying to become a doctor. Even students who don't run shops struggle with their MBBS exam. |
