For a number of years, now, I have been wishing that I had at least *considered* a career in medicine, back when I was pursuing a path. And now that I'm debt-free (paid off house & car, no credit-card debt, etc.), maybe one of the auxiliary jobs you mention would be a good fit. Thanks!
Meanwhile, I'm actively searching for a position doing technical writing, which I'm already well-qualified for, and know I enjoy doing. But that medicine thing...
