Members do not see this ad.

My question is how can I choose my specialty when I have no happy , no tendency to any school subject ? I didn't dream in my childhood of being a doctor or a pilot !
Now when I read alot about specialties I felt like going for dentistry but I'm afraid that it might be a wrong choise since it might not fit me or maybe I don't have the requirments and characteristics in my personality for that !

Edited:

If you don't know if you want to pursue dentistry, job shadow a bunch of dentists. If you enjoy that and you like your science classes in college, then go for dentistry.

I didn't have any hobbies pertaining related to dentistry either and thats ok. Being a dentist was also not my childhood dream and I think that goes for most people. Just start taking the dental school prereqs and see if you like them. It is a long tough road but if you truly enjoy it then it doesn't matter.

With a post that was so coherent and clearly worded like that, maybe you should just forget dentistry and join Dennis Rodman on his trip to North Korea. When you're done, take some writing classes at a local high school, write a book about your experiences in N.Korea and with Dennis Rodman. Sell the book, make millions, retire in Hawaii. You're welcome.

Wow, I can't believe how insensitive some people are to the OP... I think it's obvious that English is not their native language and that they're probably still in the process of learning (give them the benefit of the doubt). Completely downing someone's English skills is confidence shattering for them.

To Shayma, I agree with what trisigmagirl said. Try to get some job observing opportunities to see what you like best or to see what's the best fit for you. You said you don't have a preference to any certain school subject... know that dentistry requires a lot of science courses. So if you don't like science, you won't like dentistry, or any other health profession.

Then ask for higher tuition. Howard has one of the lowest tuition in the US. It's really low for a private school.

Oops didn't realize I posted twice

Get as much experience as you possibly can. I initially did not like science but I grew to like it later on and now I absolutely love it (sometimes teachers play a big role in how much you will like or dislike a subject). I appreciated dentistry a lot more as soon as I started shadowing and gaining more experience in the field through volunteering. The more you see what a dentist does the easier your decision will be.

Wow, and you people want to be dentists? The comments on this post make me sick. How lovely is it that when the time comes to apply, all of you play the "i want to help people" card. You talk about how caring and compassionate you are. Where did you compassion go now? It is absolutly cruel and bullying to make fun of someone for their broken English. Not everyone was born here, and people take time to learn. That does not mean you can ridicule that person and belittle them. Its absolutely disrespectful and a complete blow to their self esteem. Im ashamed to know that these people will be my fellow colleagues. Anyway to the OP, it is completely normal to be confused about your career choice. It is after all one of the biggest decisions of your life. Firstly, decide what subjects interest you. Second, try to shadow different careers to see what you feel most compatible with. Good luck! 🙂
