For real. At least in the US medical school is incredibly expensive (on top of undergrad being really expensive too). Going to school is a huge risk, because if you find you can't handle it half way through, you've got all that debt,without the job to actually pay it. We've got so many incredible potential doctors and nurses that just can't afford to go to school
