Never too late, the medical profession welcomes all ages. But is it really your friend, or its you looking for advice. |

Whether your friend studies medicine or not, believe me he is still going to clock that 33, so I see nothing wrong wit's pursuing his passion at that age! 3 Likes |

JESUSBOIY: There are two answers. The short & the long one. (1) Not too late (2) It depends on several things. Are you already a graduate? Are your parents ready to sponsor you to do a second first degree? Are you REALLY passionate about it? Do you know what it entails for real? Any experience of healthcare? Are you going to study locally or abroad? Etc. Because as if you are already a graduate, your mates might become bank managers before you enter medical job properly. Medicine is great but not glamorous as portrayed. It is very serious hard work. Not everyone is suited for it. It is akin to a job like being a priest. Proper priest, not businessmen we mostly see around these days. Because people do not realise the humanitarian calling that it is, hence many make excellent academics, but poor doctors in terms of empathy. If studying abroad, like Germany, USA, Canada, UK, you will find that you are actually a baby compared to some fellow students. Many will have a PhD/D.Phil from Oxford or Cambridge in their 30s to 40s. The typical African's question is "why would PhD holders go & study medicine?" It has been asked here on NL on similar topics before. Reasons abound: a relative died of cancer, own experience of illness/accident, finally found the courage to pursue an old dream/passion, etc. Plus in Canada & US, medicine is a second degree for minimum BSc/BS holders only. If studying abroad, your academic calendar will be reliable and you can qualify at the right time. But age is always an issue in employment anywhere. The average employer would prefer a 24 years old house officer to 34 or 44 years old one if both have same academic grade. Competitive training slots like Cardiothoracic, Neurosurgery and many other surgical specialties would prefer a younger candidate too. The training takes years and you hardly want people beginning it with grey hair already. But you can still have a decent career irrespective of age. I can only talk from diaspora experience though. 4 Likes 1 Share |

It is never late. I have seen a 50yrs old mama after retiring from nursing secured admission to study medicine and she graduated. I have also seen a 43yrs old barrister, 40yrs old airforce officer, and many more change career to medicine after serving in their respective fields for years. Zeal and passion matters 2 Likes |
