"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

I am currently an unemployed accountant that is considering medical school. My biggest fear holding me back is my fear of spinning my wheels for 1-2 years to go for something that might not happen.

What country are you in for a start? Do you already have a degree? Any work experience with a 'caring' setting? Is this a decision on a whim, or you always wanted to be a doctor, but something held you back?

I'm entering medical school September, grades permitting, so I know how you feel.

Surely you don't need to give up on the day job whilst applying?

I'm in the same boat as you.. getting older (26) and I want to find a career that I enjoy that can pay the bills. Take a chance otherwise be prepared to be 45 and asking the same question.
