Is there a point when it becomes "too late" to completely switch your career path and become, oh I don't know, a medical doctor?

Do what makes you happy. I’m in the process of moving from FS to Tech having been in FS for 21 years now. I’ve reinvented myself a number of times over my career and have seen plenty of others do the same.

In fact, just this past weekend I bumped into someone who has moved careers and now runs steam traction driving experience days! Quite a different world but he enjoys it!

Yep and from.a doctor it is when you don't choose pre-med. Nurse, Nurse Practitioner and some other awesome specialties can be later.

This is the other nurse I was thinking of.

What advice do you all have for entering the field in my position?
Thanks!!

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
