Besides, it'll help with the finding a future wife. "I'm not only a DR, but I'm a pilot as well!"
Finish it man, I'm 28 and have 1 class left for my BS, just wish I would've done something else though besides an aviation degree. Might go back for Biology if I have any days off.

I vote with the consensus of the group, finish and I like what one pilot said about becoming an AME. I know of one in Seattle who would love to have another AME in his office(he is getting old and needs at least one more in his also is well connected so he could prove handy at making contacts on the flying side). send me a PM and I can make the contact possible. Major airlines love degrees......it will work.

Thanks for asking the question! In order for us to properly respond, we'll need to know your present whereabouts. Lat/longs, grid coordinates, street address, or even a general description of the building/cave/bunker you're residing in will suffice.

Will you be there for, say, the next 3-5 minutes?

Is there anything else we can do for you today?

Finish the degree. If you were in your first summer after MS1 it might be a different story, but to be so close to finishing 20 years of schooling and to leave it now would be going against you. I've been in your position with my undergraduate where I kind of felt the same resignation. Best thing I ever did was finish regardless of how I actually felt overall about it.

If not for medicine do it for yourself so that you can look back and say you never gave up. Pretty good quality to see in someone.
