I would say ASAP, get a job as an allied health professional (med tech, phlebotomist, emt) to pay the bills, often they might also pay for your school too!

Hello Emmyya: I would follow the normal sequence of schooling which means grade school, high school and then college. You would then be starting college at 18 years old. You would do four years of college and finish at age 22. Then would attend medical school for four years and finish at the age of 26. This is followed by 3 years of residency, and then 3 to 4 years of fellowship, if you specialize. So you will be around 30 years old when you finish. Of course if you didn’t follow this natural course, you can start any time; however, in reality, the later you start the more bills you have and there’s a tendency to have to work to pay off those bills before studying. I, therefore, recommend that you follow that natural course and go to college after high school, if possible.
