I want to become a doctor
Should I follow my dreams to become a doctor, or perhaps choose to be something simpler? All my life I have been wanting to become a doctor, however, my parents are not very supportive of me going to school. They would rather me work. As I am on my own and very young, I don't need any debt. I am a 19-year-old male and a college freshman. I would love to graduate with a bachelor's in Biology, and then go on to medical school. Since my parents aren't going to help me pay for my tuition, I am putting myself in debt by going to school. Should I just become something else? I am thinking that I could become a dental hygienist and then save up money and eventually go to medical school. But even dental hygiene is a hard program to get into. I really appreciate anyone reading this! Thank you for your time.

If you really want to become a doctor, then go for it now. Get loans if you have to but don't wait.
Life has a way of getting in the way. You can have every intention of doing something else & then returning to medical school. The reality is that shit happens & it more likely than not won't happen. You will get a bit older, fall in love, become a parent, and just stick with what is easiest. Its just so hard to go back.
Best of luck to you. You can do it!
