My suggestion would be to go ahead and do your residency. Since you have an interest in flying and an interest in medicine, why not check into becoming a physician on a medical helicopter. If this is an option then you could fly and be an M.D. both at the same time, except you won't actually be flying the aircraft. You could continue your flight training on the side and do a career change later.

I am 27 years old and have served 9 years as a police officer and 5 years as an EMT. I am currently enrolled back in college working on my degree in Aviation Management and flying on the side.
