I’m not in the medical field, but when I dropped out and then returned to college after a couple years I had way more financial aid available to me (I’m in the US). Because I had been lower class $8 / hour during my hiatus, suddenly I was eligible for Pell Grants, subsidized student loans, and additional grants through the state Workforce Agency. My degree was a BS in Engineering. I still graduated with loans, but the balance was much lower than it would’ve otherwise been. Plus, I basically lived off the loans while attending college such that I didn’t have to juggle a part time job and classes/studying.
