Is it too late to be a surgeon for me?

I spent the last nine years of my life as a professional artist. I will be graduating the end of this year with my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering. I built my first house with by myself at the age of 21 and am now 25. I was horrible in high school didn’t care much made more at the time than any of the teachers in my school. So I thought I had my life figured out and let my grades go graduating with a GPA of 2.6 and 121 out of 164 students. Now I am doing well in college with a 3.98 GPA and still trying to hit a 4.0.

I don’t have much money saved up and I still have not got over the feeling of wanting to be a surgeon. I could keep doing what I am doing now and just cruise through the rest of my life comfortable, but this question eats me up inside everyday. “Did you do the best you could do with your life?” I want a job that means something. I don’t want to look back when I am 65 years old and say well those where some great pictures. Or that was a really complex script. I want to look back and know I pushed myself as far as I could. I want to know that I made every minute of my life worth something. I can visually see the body in my mind I know where every part of the body is and where it is located. I even know its function and how it works. I could draw a picture in detail of any organ, muscle, bone, or most of any part of the body with out looking at a thing. My whole life I have been fascinated with the human body and how it works.

So what dose everyone think? Do you think 25 is to late in life to decide that you want to get into Med School and work on a degree to become a surgeon? I would like to hear your opinions and if you have any tips to help me on this long journey I am very curious to hear about them.
