Going to med school because it was the next logical step. I didn't take it seriously, and now I'm $300+k in debt, waiting tables, horribly over-educated and under-skilled/licensed for everything, living with my parents and trying to figure out what's next.

I tried to climb the highest mountain in my country. My father took me and my brother there with some friends. The problem is that I have sickle-cell anemia, and due to the low oxygen I just couldn't go further; but I did anyway. Bad idea.
