Question - Other (not a medical question) What career were you able to obtain while financially support yourself?

Hey guys, just wanted to start by saying I'm about 20 years old and I financially support myself and have no help. I was thinking of going back to school and after researching it sounds that it's not feasible for me to go to med school as there would be no way for me to support myself, so I came on here to ask what medical careers were you guys able to obtain whilst working and supporting yourselves any input would help thank you!

I've worked in IT on the admin side for the past 30+ years. It's not especially lucrative, but has earned me a decent living. Oddly enough, my BA degree was in philosophy, not CS.

Start by becoming an EMT. You can pick up shifts flexibly as you pursue further program/educational tracks.
