I recently sold my small freelance sound company to a larger sound company (assets included) for a nice price (my house is now over half paid off four years after buying). Larger sound company then decided to try and attract low budget filmmakers so they opened up a boutique style sound house with me running it. It allows us to give deals to smaller projects without compromising price on the big budget stuff ie) we don't charge indie filmmakers $400/hour for studio time.

Good news is that I'm my own boss and I do what I love. Bad news is that I get paid like I'm my own boss. Thankfully I have a wife who makes good money. The next three years are going to be very lean around the S~ household.

In my spare time I write scripts and hit people with big pieces of rattan.

Seriously. High Expectations.
Now those are some cool ideas, only thing I have that I'd love to at least try out for would be FBI in about 3 to 4 years.

Keep in mind that med school is 4 years, then you have a good few years of internship and residency. Getting that shit out of the way earlier rather than later is a good thing - the older you get, the shittier 120 hour work weeks become. Not that it can't be done, but I think its a lot easier if you're doing it in the 20s and 30s, not 40s.

Almost ripped the answer from kungfumonkey:

Finishing up my Master (Systematics), teaching college courses (Biology at their first year and Evolution at the third one), and doing research on the frigging rodents. I don't even have a lame grant. I'm just hoping to get a decent one in order to start doc somewhere else.

That's definitely the plan. I'm saving up for all the schoolin' needed with the electrical work, and getting the Masters license will give me something to fall back on with the wait.

Yeah, and even lame grants are getting much harder to come by with all the money going to the war and not to NIH.

No offense, but paying off student loans after is easier (and often more cost effective) than saving up on the front end. You've probably already done that math, but I'd definitely suggest paying off student loans as a doctor over saving up as an electrician to avoid the loans.
