If you are thinking about it I would check it out.
More interested in working with at-risk youth and emotionally/behaviorally disturbed adolescents. We'll see how everything plays out.

Well, 27 when I get the car. Student loans are a motherfucker. I'm happy I saved and paid, but my grades definitely suffered.

I am actually going to go into neuro. Imagine that. Cool to here you like psychology. Thare is a cool field within that called neuropsych that is a fellowship after the doctorate program. Cool stuff.
Awesome you're going into neuro!

I'm planning or was planning to go into Neuro Diagnostic Radiology but Iono.. I'm still debating whether or not to specialize in that specific field.

I'm 32 and a bit burnt out on the horsepower and technology wars among never cars. I love classic air-cooled 911s but am burnt out on maintaining them. I see the BRZ/FR-S as a great bridge between that gap of enjoyable driving while still not worrying about the next multi-thousand dollar repair.

All I can say is that whatever you want to do make sure you want to do it in the long run and go do it! Don't hesitate or regret the decision. I turned down law school because I decided it wasn't the thing for me after spending 4 years getting a bachelors for it. Now I still can't figure out what to do so I ended up double majoring in two similar but different fields hopefully I'll get it right this time because without higher education its harder to get hired after thirty.

assuming i like this car, i will keep it till the STi version comes out. then i will upgrade to that. i am sure this car will feel like it needs more power.

About to apply since I missed my application date last year. Lol I was short 1 class. (dammit).

But I'm apprenticing under a Neuro Diagnostic Radiologist right now. Well every other month since he only comes to visit to do seminars and such. Other than that its more of a.. "working under the radiologist at UCLA."

I'm afraid to pull out a loan right now since I've been told that the next "bubble" that's going to pop is the student loan bubble.

What do you mean by apprenticing under a radiologist now?

I wouldn't worry about the student loans part. If you can't find a job after finishing your training as a physician, things must be so bad here that it probably doesn't matter.

Good luck with the applications!

While education price dynamics is definitely unsustainable, for it to "pop" means a collapse in the value of education - that is collapse in wages of college educated workers. While possible, it's unlikely. Most likely "popping the education bubble" means that institutions that finance some for-profit crap "education" will go bust, and those for-profit places will disappear off the face of the earth. It does not mean that legitimate schools that get you decent jobs after graduation will magically become cheaper.
