Answer :

I use to work with a customer that was a dairy farmer. He was about 35 to 40. He decided he wanted to be a veterinarian. He went to school and got his BS and then got into Cornell’s Vet school. He has a thriving practice and he loves it. Little different way to do it. I’d suggest approaching a med school for advice or someone in med school and go from there.
