Wondering if my plan is good...

[sweetcrabhoney]

My apologies if you felt my post was judging your choice. I actually thought you wanted to be either an MD or NP first, followed by an acupuncturist. (EDIT to say I've since read ahead through the end of the thread). My dad is a chiropractor, he graduated from Palmer in the early 80's so you don't have to justify non-traditional medicine to me. My mom was a nurse until she died- and I played with the idea of pursuing med school to be an OBGYN or nursing school to become a CNM (I've even had 2 homebirths and was a volunteer doula for years). My point is that there are steps that you take in one direction that take you closer to one goal but further away from the other, it's easy to waste steps. I'm happy to help you NOT waste steps, and the first part in that is just getting clear on exactly what you want or don't want.

It's inspiring to hear this.. and helpful beyond words. No need for apologies ; it happens often. I choose acupuncture because it can be blended into many many types of businesses ( like into a spa or rehab retreat for example ). Your all good and your intention was good so no worries.

My family and I live on limited income ; so I have to be extremely careful about the cost of college and the investment since many of it will be out of pocket. Like you said... I don't want to waste steps. I want to spend as little time and money as possible on the undergrad degree and spend a ton on grad school.

SO please! Help with anything you can ... I don't want to make the wrong choice and end up having to start all over just to get into grad school... that would be depressing. I really appreciate your offer and your experience. Thank you again.

PS. Love the fan page you made about free colleges /looking forward to your book too.
