Life plans, is this going to work?

so sorry if this ends up being long but please try and help?

I want to get into med school, do something medicine orientate. I know that med school in the uk is about 6 years. Then you have 2 years of foundation training, with a salary of about 20,000. I will be 26 by then and i would be able to specialize. Im hoping to do general surgery and then specialize in cardiology. Together how long will that take..in england?

The other major thing on my mind is 'settling' down and having a family. I would like to have many kids and preferably my first few in my twenties. Is this life gonna work out??

Also how does being pregnant and doing your F1 or doing general surgery? Will it work, bearing in mind that my parents will be around to help. On top of that, the issue of getting my own 'home' for my numerous kids, wanting to adopt will it all work??

I guess i really just need someone to talk me through practicalities and re assure, maybe been there done that?

    NO, it won't work well, unless you have support and commitment from family for the whole 6 to 8 years. If you can marry a wealthy guy, that would help. You will need cheap/free lodging and lots of free babysitting because dealing with these issues AND school will make you old and sick FAST. I would suggest going on a millionaire dating site and being HONEST about what you are doing. Some older rich guy will take you up on it, I guarantee it. say you will sign a pre-nup. I'm serious!

    first things first

    is your spouse on board with the family plan? if not, it will not work.

    if you do not yet have a spouse, don;t make future plans. you would be dreaming.

    Don;t try to carry more than a full load. When you have a family, someday, have one child at a time and appreciate each one for who they are. don't have kids and then heroically adopt. Life has a way of making the path for you. life happens and you will have to deal with what you did not anticipate. so take it slow and be thankful for what you have.
