Is quitting my job for a long shot at Med school worth the risk?

Question

I'm 24 and graduated w/ a Business Mgmt degree and have been working professionally in finance for two years.  I have found the field very dry and uninteresting and each day I go home feeling unsatisfied.  Recently, I have had a friend who has begun to encourage me to consider pursuing Medical school, and I'm really beginning to consider it.  However, I'm just unsure if it worth the risk of quitting my job to go back into undergrad level studies for a few years then attempting to just get in Med school as if I am unable I will most likely need to return to the business field, but even farther behind in that area...any thoughts/advice/other input???

unless your really strong in math/science, like you had straight As in advanced classes in HS, its not worth the risk. However, you could try taking a few science classes part time in the evening at community college and take it from there, while still holding on to your job. Even though the workload is ridiculous, even in premed courses, you must have some aptitude for math at least if you got a degree in business management.
