@@EricFortuneJr. yeah but at what cost? Now he's in his 50s, drowning in hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt in student loans. He will probably never be able to retire, and will most likely have to work for the rest of his life to pay it off. And odds are that he will probably die, before he can fully pay it off. He most likely won't open his own firm, and won't get high profile cases. But hey, he's a lawyer. Yay!

I do agree that America has some of the most expensive tuition fees on the planet and that's an absolute shame but there are also grants that can help mitigate this.

@@ashleighnunez5532 poverty is relative lol but I understand what you're saying. I didnt grow up poor and funnily enough, where I come from, powdered milk was the reserve of wealthier middle class families (because it had to be imported and was therefore expensive and could only be purchased from one of the five supermarkets we had in our city). We always had it at home, but whenever I visited less well off relatives, it was kept under lock and key and rationed only in the morning on the special ocassions when we were given cereal to eat lol. Good times. One man's sign of poverty is another's sign of upward mobility

That, in turn, will inspire a sense confidence in you from the people who come to you as patients. Don’t look BACK on the opportunities you missed. Look FORWARD to the blessings that lie ahead of you. And be glad you live in a country where you CAN go for advanced education at an advanced age. May you and your dreams be blessed.🙏

Very inspiring and really gave me a great reminder of my grandmother. My Grandma was a teacher for over 30 years. And during the 30 years she was teaching elementary school she never gave up and eventually finished her Bachelor's Degree when she was in her mid 50's. Age doesnt matter.... we all have to start somewhere.

That's a great saying. It's better than, "I wish I was anywhere but here." Congratulations Doctor Carl.

Amazing man! Not only did he follow his dreams but what an example he provided for his children. Never complained about his situation, became a damn good mechanic while still wanting to pursue another career path. Folks like him are a very rare breed, there is so much to learn from a person of such character. His mechanical expertise will assist him in diagnosing his patients. Congratulations kind Sir, I wish you well and I’m sure you already are an awesome Doctor. God Bless you and your family!
