re: Your kid fails out of med school, do you then find him a job, or tell him he's on his own

How does this happen?
I wonder if dad weighted the investment risk.
Thats a lot of scratch over a couple of years that couldve been invested during a crazy period of earnings.
Just pointing out the obvious.
I would be infuriated.

If he truly gave his best effort and failed, then continue to help him. He’s lucky that his father is involved.

I don't think anyone ever claimed that.

Naturopath physician school.
Fascinating how many people have never heard of them. There are several mostly in the western and northwestern parts of the country. He should be able to get in easily. Will have to take a couple of more years of classes (naturopaths actually have much more education in nutrition and how the body heals itself than allopathic doctors).
Unfortunately naturopaths are not fully licensed in many states including Louisiana. Yes folks, that's how powerful the pharmaceutical and allopathic lobbies are.
I personally try to see only OPs or NPs unless I have a seasonal cold or sinus infection. They are much more likely to work with you than many allopathic doctors. Allopathic medical schools (all of them) are basically controlled by pharmaceutical companies.

The dad has done enough for his kid. It's time for the kid to shift for himself.

Either it was an “effort thing” or he wasn’t smart enough. There’s no in between here.

If he truly wants to do something medical he can become an EMT, join military and become a medic, or go into pharmaceutical or medical sales.

Why not both? Especially if you feel he definitely gave it a legit go but couldn't cut it. Tell him it's time to see where he lands. See if he truly is trying and if he can't get it done then give him a nudge after 6 or so months. Time to see where he really is on his own. Tell him to take a job, even if "below him" to get experience. Then see where that goes later.

Too much. This kid will have a hard time.
Hes in his 20s and never had to take care of a thing in his life.

I have an opening for a pipe fitters assistant. Does he have his own tools? Is he familiar with most of the Kid Rock catalog?

No to be cocky but how can someone who got that far not find themselves a job and start figuring out life. My path wasn't linear or what I planned but at a certain age I started finding my own alternate routes
Posted on 12/27/24 at 9:55 am to Jack Ruby
Help him get a job and tell him he's on his own.
Posted on 12/27/24 at 10:01 am to Jack Ruby
Either way he will be grateful you sought the answers here. Life’s hard enough. Help him out. You will regret not doing so more than helping.

If he's interested in medicine just have him go to PA school.
Posted on 12/27/24 at 10:07 am to Jack Ruby
Have him identify as a trans-woman and he'll pass the tests.

Because he didn’t get himself that far. His parents clearly removed every obstacle in his path that they could for as long as they could, and the kid is worse off for it.

My parents paid for my undergrad (with FASFAs) help but during that time I was...ya know...in college... where ya figure shite out

This. So he’s not meant to be a doctor. Discuss other options. A PA, perhaps? PT or OT? Problem is insurance is ruining these allied health fields. Don’t expect a salary as in the last. Something else he’s interested in that he may have kept from you? I’d tell him he’s got to support himself now as he’s an adult, but I’d walk alongside of him until he chooses his path.
