A 2.7 GPA in your science classes? Wow. Are you passionate about this field or the [misguided] promise of money?

Would YOU want a healthcare professional treating you who only had a 2.7 GPA in the sciences?

I'd suggest you figure out your true passion and interest first. From your post, it doesn't sound like healthcare is a spark for you.

Figure out the color of your parachute, man, but I'd wager healthcare isn't it.

I would NOT base my career choice on feedback from the internet for many reasons, one of them being many times no matter what profession, they come on there to vent about the day they HAD.. KEYWORD being HAD in any profession you will good days and bad. People mostly post about the bad day's they had work rarely will you hear "I had a great day" here's what happened. Do what's best for you and not someone on the internet who claims to do the job and tells you it wont be right for you.

It would be hard tome getting into medical school with a C average in science. Maybe you could improve on that in a science master's program. If you cannot commit to 10 hour workdays, six days a week, then you end up one of them who thinks wealthy persons do not pay their share. You forget they worked hard for having a better life.

Join the Air Force or Navy and become a medical corpsman. They will train you, give you a life, and expose you to the medical field to see if it's right for you. Meanwhile travel the world and grow as a person into what you want to do next.
