I am 42 years old and very interested to start medical school next year. It is my dream and passion to study medical school. My biggest issue is economic problem!

This is so awesome! I live in San Antonio and just recently toured the med school he attends and fell in love with it. I’m a non traditional pre med student 32 years old, been out of school for 6 years just restarting my bachelors degree this semester. I’m a truck driver working 60 hours a week while taking 1-2 classes so I gonna have my work cut out for me. I can’t afford to take an entry level medical job like a scribe or emt so I’m trying to figure out how I can get non paid clinical experience on the weekends.
