Need Career Advice - 23 Year Old Brother Seeking Guidance (As-Salaam-Alaikum)

As-Salaam-Alaikum brothers and sisters. I'll be direct - I'm your brother in need of guidance. Backstory: I'm almost 24 and finishing my undergraduate degree (planning to graduate from UCSD next quarter). It's been 6+ years since I started at community college at 17. I converted to Islam at 18. I switched from premed to engineering, then into Computer Science from bioengineering near the end of year three. Before my fourth year I went through a serious health issue that affected me mentally and physically. I had hopes of marriage and children but feared I might not be able to, which weighed on me a lot. I struggled daily and, with hindsight, should have taken time off, but I pushed through that year and ended up failing many classes and barely passing others. After a year I decided I needed a purpose so I wouldn't be a burden. I joined youth work to help kids and became active in my community and school. I gave speeches, organized campaigns, and led community efforts - these things gave me meaning and I put academics aside for a time. Eventually I returned to finish my degree, but I found it hard to get back into study habits and discipline, and my grades suffered. I initially pursued CS/software engineering for the job opportunities, but over time I felt a stronger pull to use the talents Allah gave me in a way that aligns with my faith and service. My interpersonal skills, leadership, and desire to serve made me think medicine might be my true calling - especially work that could involve humanitarian service abroad. Where I am now: The main barrier to medical school isn't a lack of will or intelligence - it's my undergraduate GPA. Right now it's low (around 2.2), and most post-bacc or special master’s programs expect a much higher GPA (often 2.8–3.0+). That means years of rebuilding grades before I could realistically apply to med school, on top of the lengthy training and residency. Some of the premed courses I took before my health issues are strong (around 3.8+), and I also completed EMT training - would that clinical experience help if I choose to pursue medicine later? I'm wondering if medicine might be a train that has already left and whether I should let it go for now. Currently I work as a Unit Assistant at Kaiser Permanente and I'm finishing my degree. I'm considering options that let me stand on my own feet first: applying my CS degree to embedded systems for medical devices, or perhaps returning to bioengineering (I have an opportunity to shadow a bioengineer) which was my original interest at UCSD. My priority is to secure a stable path so I can support my family. If, after becoming an engineer and stabilizing my situation, medicine is still possible and in my heart, I can revisit it then. I would really appreciate advice from anyone who's navigated similar detours: - How viable is a later pivot to medicine after repairing GPA through post-bacc or other routes? - Would strong clinical experience like EMT work meaningfully in an application years later? - Any thoughts on choosing a stable engineering path now versus committing to years of GPA repair for med school? Jazakum Allahu khairan for any honest guidance - I really appreciate your time and dua.
