I like to touch. I don't have a problem touching people to comfort or touching people to inspire. Long story made short, I want to be a physician associate, but I also want to act.
I have wanted to act and voice act for about five years now. However, I cannot let go of all that I have done towards a career in healthcare. In fact, one of the reasons I want to be a physician assistant instead of a doctor is so I might give myself the time to pursue other personal interests and career goals besides just treating individual people.
I am by no means trying to half-heartedly walk my way into medicine as there are a number of things I am considering doing as a PA, but I really want to act! Also, I figure being a PA would at the very least be my day job as I garner acting experience.
I have heard stories of wall street brokers moonlighting as movie extras, and that sounds like fun. Dr. Ken, full-time doctor and comedian actor, is also very inspiring. He is a living example that you can do all that you want regardless of outside opinion as long as you are being fulfilled.
Is it reasonable that I hope to eventually fulfill this great dream of mine I put so much heart into?
Or does it seem like an excuse to half-ass my way into medicine, like it's a backup plan, just for the money so I can fuel other dreams that are less stable?
Am I two-timing careers?
Is it even possible to cheat on your primary career with another?
What is this -- a relationship??
Should I be focusing on one, or can I focus on one at a time or on both simultaneously?
Am I digging two holes instead of just one and consequently leading myself into failure of both by doing so?
I was not born into a family of celebrities or talent passed down from generation to generation, but I love to make people laugh and emote. It has changed me as a person, and I need to continue to feel like I've still got it. I love being serious when I can be, but I am not a serious person.
Besides, they say successful people are often the unrealistic ones with an absolute belief in their goal to make their dreams a reality.

What holds you and I back from going forth and pursuing?
Is it because we believe we can do both, or because we also want respect and a stable job? Maybe we want the best of both worlds. And no one can argue with that.
Did you bother to tell medical schools of future ambitions, or are you really not planning on continuing to write for a while?
but perform just as well (or better!)
then either you're a frigging genius or they're doin' it wrong. Either way, its not on you to cater to their vanity.
