How was your educational journey towards landing a Career in the medical field?

I am an Undergraduate Biology major who is fueled towards a career in the medical field. I have always had a passion for this area of study, but I think that I lack the knowledge that I need.
My question is; How tedious was the process for landing a career within the medical field like a Doctor or a nurse?
If there are any Forensic specialists here, could you describe the steps to reach to such level?
What would you have done differently back then before landing your career?
What advice would you give to me, an International Student wanting to pursue a career in the medical field?

If I could go back, I would have invested all my time into becoming a doctor instead of a nurse. I am making that career change super late in life. First I was a medical assistant… then registered nurse. I have been in the medical field for over 10 years now and I could have been a doctor by now. However, I am the first one to go to college in my family, so I never had the money. I am extremely thankful for all my experiences. If you really like medicine, and you are thinking about becoming a doctor… just do it. Reach for the stars!

Kess’s Answer

If I could change anything I probably would have pursued medical school sooner. However, it either wasn't in the cards or I didn't know what I wanted to do at the time!

My career was: US Army medic (7 years) >>> civilian EMT (2 years) >>> EMT / CMA (1 year) >>> medical school

Everyone takes their own path.
