My former colleague's son was a bit of a troubled young man since teen years. Left home at 20, screwed around for a while, then became a framer. Worked as a framer, became good at it, made some money and saved some money. Bought a house mortgage free. At 29 went to UofC. At 33 got into med school. At 39 finished at the top of his class and went for specialization. At 42, he is now one of the highest rated specialists.
You're 36. It will take 8-10 years to become a family doctor, if you have what it takes. Then you'd still have 15-20 years of a productive career. Go for it!
