Borderline Fit: Proceed Carefully (Research Phase)
There’s interest and some upside, but the risk of frustration is higher right now—often due to limited savings buffer, hard timeline constraints, uncertainty about licensing/medical/eligibility, or low tolerance for roster/cost-of-living shifts. It’s not a “no,” but it’s a “not yet.”
