I’m not really sure how to approach an aviation career from here…I’ve done the research about the career and want to position myself responsibly for my future. I had given some thought to going the medical route and going to aviation afterwards but it really doesn’t seem like an ideal way to do it.
Here's an ideal way to do it: Work hard to get to medical school, and find out how you can become a military flight surgeon -- maybe at a Reserve or ANG unit flying F-15/F-16/F-18s. You'd probably enjoy flying with a military squadron, as you seem to have an interest in that. Use the money you make in your practice to buy a plane and learn to fly. It would be the best of all possible worlds.
...and stay away from V-tailed Bonanzas.
