i have heard that med school tuition is higher and longer academic years than other school. which means i would be around 30 to be a qualified doctor and make money. idk if this is a good decision

Not a good option
It'll take 8+ years for you to actually start making money (not internship)
This is if you want to become a doctor and specialize in a field

If it’s what you want to do and it’s possible then go for it. Part-time work is possible to take on the side of your degree and, depending on where you live, your uni may provide financial help.

I live in the UK and here, with the student loans system, it’s more than possible to become a doctor if you’re homeless even lol. On the off chance that you’re from the UK, you won’t have to pay your course back until you’re making enough money… and the government eventually drops your debt if you don’t pay it off for long enough. While you’re there you will receive (in my opinion) more than enough money to live AND if you’re low income it’s possible your uni will provide you with extra money that you don’t even have to pay back.

I don’t know how it works in your country (if you’re not from the UK) or how it would work for you if you were an international student in the UK though. You’ll have to look up what it’s like where you live if you’re not from here. If it is what you strongly want to do and it is possible then do it.
