<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

edit: All my comments are being downvoted below zero, am I not supposed to respond to comments in this subreddit?

My wife and I have been together for seven years, married for four, and we have two young kids together. About a year ago, I got pretty sick with a chronic condition that is now reasonably well-controlled. It meant I spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices and was literally on a first name basis with the specialist MD I was seeing. Toward the end of the intensive part of the treatment (a few months ago), my doctor made an offhand comment that I would have made a really great doctor.

I've been really unhappy in my career for a long time, whereas my wife's has really taken off, and she out-earns me by quite a bit. I can't get this doctor's meaningless comment out of my head, and I've been researching the possibility of making a huge life/career change and going to medical school. I think it will be hard, and expensive, but feasible. I wish I had figured this out four years ago but better late than never, right?

The problem is my wife. She is completely opposed to the idea. She thinks school would take way too much time away from our family and put too much burden on her. I understand her point and I know it would be hard but I really think it would be worth it in the end. She has made her position clear, so have I, and I don't know where to go from here. Any advice?
<bot>: I want to go back to school to become a doctor, and my wife thinks this will be an undue burden on her and our kids and is vehemently opposed.
