<p>So, I’ve finally realized that teaching just isn’t right for me. I gave up on medicine and STEM as an undergrad. Now I’m looking to pursue my goals and a career that’s right for me. I am hoping that the community here can help me get started and answer a few questions. </p>
<p>This is the original post in the parents forum:

<p>What are some reputable biomedical engineering schools that someone like me can get into? Is it possible for me to attend a top 50 BME program despite my background? I’m not a math or science teacher. </p>
<p>Should I take prereqs at a community college first to save money or is this deeply frowned upon even though I do have a bachelors? </p>
<p>How do employers view “late starters” in general? Are there repercussions regarding age even if I’m only a few years older than others entering the job?</p>
<p>How can I decide on all the prereqs if each school has somewhat different ones?</p>
