Do you like the job? What made you want to enter the profession? And did you stop there, or are you continuing school to become a dentist?

Not a chance this is happening. To become a dentist, you need a pretty high GPA from a university with a good DCAT score to even be considered bya respectable dentistry school. To become a dental hygienist, you don't need to go to a 4 year university, just one of those schools they advertise on daytime T.V.
 
Its tough. It was one of my career goals after I gave up on International Finance, so I looked it up and saw what I needed to do to get into a dental schooland I knew that it was going to be a very hard process to go through so I chose Linguistics and communication disorders instead. I figure if I had started outwith the goal of becoming a dentist then I would've been fine but at the stage in life when I wanted to get out of a business degree I really didnt have itall in me to go all out and become a dentist.

If your passionate about it and can dedicate yourself to it, then I would def say go for it.

It's the truth. I used to be a pre-dent student and I saw how fierce the competition was. And I don't even attend an ivy league schoolor anything of that nature.
