I finished a year of Podiatry School 20 years ago and had to leave for family reasons. I always wonder what could have been and am (crazy I know) seriously considering returning to school. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I'm age 42 now + 2 years of prep for school will put me finishing school around 48, residency completion 51. I would hope to be in practice for 20 years or so.
I am aware of the School Loans and wondered - is Podiatry paying enough these days to warrant the risk and will there be enough residency spots for its graduates? Are jobs hard to come by for trained Podiatrists or are there options if geography is not a challenge?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Yes, I have a family and am a well compensated professional. Trying to minimize my regrets and do something meaningful with my life.
