<p>I’m currently a linguist in the US Navy stationed in Korea. I speak about seven languages pretty well. My current job field in military intel but I really don’t like it. What I would like to do is become a doctor/lawyer. I know this sounds a bit odd but my end goal is to be a heart surgeon. As far as law goes, when I saw lawyer I mean that I want to successfully go through law school first and pass the bar. So I’ll have the skills necessary to be a lawyer. After that I would pursue my dream to be a heart surgeon which would take about 11 years (4 yrs med school + 7 yrs residence). With that said, all that schooling can be VERY expensive and I’m looking for the cheapest possible way to complete everything. </p>
<p>In pondering how I’m going to pay for all this, I thought of some options: </p>
<p>a. use my GI Bill to cover some of the costs
b. study abroad in a foreign country where law/med school isn’t that expensive and transfer my credits back to USA</p>
<p>My questions for you all are:</p>
<li>in regards to studying abroad, where are some countries that I could study in (law/med school) and still be able to transfer the credit back to the USA and still be a lawyer/doctor?<br></li>
<li>What are your overall thoughts on this?</li>
</ol>
<p>P.S.- if knowing what languages I speak helps, then Spanish, Korean, Tagalog, Ilocano, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Arabic</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
