If you decide at 50 to become a doctor, you have some hard work ahead of you. Understandably so. In my experience, universities in my area admit adults into their "continuing education" track. It's sadly nothing more than a collection of humanities and introductory liberal arts courses. For some reason I cannot attend a university to study physics for the pure joy of it (granted, most people including myself wouldn't have the financial backing to return to the ivory tower for the joy of it). I'm simply a life-long learner. I think it's a shame that universities have simply become expensive job requisites.
