To moofmonster
I have a very good research job . yes, strong research too.. Plus I never quit job for this tought process...Maybe I am selflish but it's a dream. One of reason, why I am doing this, is from my sons's support, two college students. We lose nothing if we keep trying. I fully understand all PDs want to take bright young one, I will do same thing....if I am a PD.
Don't give up please....
Life is tough...but it's fun. Thanks all your guys ..

Hi harmless !
Ofcourse there is hope and chances always, remember the famous phrase " THE ONLY BATTLE LOST IS THE ONE WE ABANDON "
Myself, I'm 18 years since graduation, so far 2 IV, applied on the 13th., so far 12 rejections with 2 IV's.
Just ask any hospital nowdays, almost everywhere there are + 40 yo residents, so moof just hold your horses, you will get your share to enjoy, nobody needs your pessimism.
Community programs sometimes go for years of clinical experience on candidates. So there is hope for everybody. Do not be affraid of some oldies but goodies. This dream is for everybody to sleep on and hope for a better tomorow.

I have to say my life has travelled a somewhat circuitous path; but I believe that I am all the better for it. and I won't give up...that is why I called it as harmless . I am ready to face anything here....
Lets keep hoping.

I love you guys for sharing your stories of inspiration.
I felt really alone today but after reading this over lunch, I don't feel so alone right now.
