Go for it... Passion beats all in the long run On the other hand, studying medicine and running a business may be quite complex So weigh the options before going in for it. If you can study overseas it'll be better tho cause the duration is usually shorter 1 Like |

Your age shouldn't be a barrier, the most important thing is your passion for medicine, you will come out successfully if you commit your time to it You don't need to go for service because you have done that before |

Don't let your life be controlled by just a number. There is nothing that surpass fulfilment in this world. You could have loads of money and still die unfulfilled. That's just an incredible mystery of life |

isgombe: The Best advise I heard about pursuing Education with respect to Age. If you don't enrol at the end of 30years you would be "30years with no additional certificate" So is it not better you are " 30years with added certificate?" 4 Likes |

Go for what drives you regardless of your age. Kudos. Never wake up to return to bed without making N10,000 per day. See my proof in the link below. |

Do not allow the Nigerian society to set limitations to what you can focus and achieve. Passion and the demand for service, should drive your decisions and not some arbitrary age limit. Use your head so you don’t regret not taking bold steps in life. 3 Likes |

isgombe:I'm older than you, but I still went back to study medicine after my first degree. Like you, I was worrying myself about my age until I got the DE admission and discovered that guys who are over 40 are in medical school. I also saw an over 50-year old unmarried man studying law, and he's not distracted about what people say about him. Go for it, but check first if you can do it together with business. Medicine is not easy. If you don't work hard, you'll be expelled. 1 Like |

NNEWIsuper:If he can afford the school fees of state universities, fully accredited state universities will offer him admission more easily than federal universities. Insofar as a medical school is fully accredited by MDCN, be it federal or state, doctor na doctor. So, he has a better chance of being offered admission in a fully accredited state university. |

ornicus: I was used to hearing this sentimental question a lot! In Nigeria and elsewhere, people have different reasons for studying medicine: to help people, to be called medical doctor, i.e. tittle, to escape poverty as a result of good pay. One just need a motivation to go into it. "I want to help people", biggest lie of all 5 Likes 1 Share |

iCauseTrouble:OP, go for medicine if it's truly your dream. You'll regret it in 6 years if you don't pursue your dream. I'm talking out of experience. So many people discouraged me from studying medicine, that I should rather do a master's degree programme plus business. After 6 years, I realized I had not achieved my dream. My heart was filled with sadness. Within that 6 years, I saw my former coursemates who pursued their dream of being medical doctors immediately after our first degree, graduate and are now doing well. Undeterred, I went back to medical school. So, pursue your dream, original poster. You'll be glad you did. 2 Likes 1 Share |

maasoap: the highlighted is the issue most people go into medicine because of status. they assume money will come with it, but in this country, that is not guaranteed at all i am an engineer, but i come from a medical family ;90% of my uni friends studied medicine my sis is a doctor most of them were extremely pissed at graduation. the people you entered uni with will start earning at least 4 years before you. and when you start earning it is not as if you will definitely be earning that much things at a point were EXTREMELY messed up and my old man went to the middle east OBJ did a lot with conmess, but it is still not enough. even today, the real koko for doctors is public health. get a gig with CCCD or WHO. I will not advise a person who is already old to study medicine. |

isgombe:That guy is right. My Friend made a similar mistake and went to study architecture in a partially accredited school. Hoping they would get it before he graduates. It's been many years now and he hasn't graduated. Find a nearby school and run your program. Accreditation is not by magic and it may get to a point where they'll completely scrap the course. |

[quote author=isgombe post=83655968]Good afternoon my people. I am currently 25years old and have A BSc. degree in physiology. I have passion for medicine an i wanted to re-apply, though the school that i want (is in my state) is partially accredited by MDCN, but they have final year student. The reason i wanted to apply for the school is that i need to open a shop that i can be running my business and also. Please I need your view considering my age? is it okay for me to start all over again from 100level or should i apply for DE in different state? Well 25 is never late, especially if you are passionate as u said, but the reality is that MEDICINE is very demanding and can not be mixed with anything else. If u have someone trustworthy to run the business for u, good. By accreditation from ur name i believe u mean GSU, i don't know what going on now but i believe by noe them prof kalaye and El nafaty should be pushing for the accreditation, cos it's long overdue. All the best. |

olatunyemi:almost all medical schools if not all take DE into 200l. Take the form and follow your dream, just do whatsoever makes sense to you. Do not go to a partially-accredited school. |
