Hi,
Just a random question to everyone out there. I want to feel better if I dont do well on my dat Wed, and im at work, so quick question...

What do you guys think is good to do if you dont get in first try. I am post bach, just finished everything except physics... 24 years old... Finance major. I think I could get a decent job again in the finance sector, but I was hoping I could get a masters. Anyone know of any 1 year masters programs. I wanted something I could do and be able to TA and thus avoid debt. I have no student debt. I got about 4 k in retirement and 14 k savings right now, so i cant afford much. I just hate the feeling of wasting my time. My GF is about to be a pharmacist, so I feel like a total loser in comparison, and I dont want to lose her b/c im poor. I definately want to be a dentist, its just damn hard to do!

Also, I live in Georgia.

So in essence, what do you think.
1.Work at dentist office, take a few more community college classes. (my gpa is 3.71 A/ 3.62 Science)
2. Get Masters in science
3. Get masters in business
4. Get a good finance job, save money, and volunteer at clinics on the weekend.
5. Work out of country (any recommendations!?)
6.. **** it all, sell dope, and marry a stripper.

Thanks guys.
 
i know that a lot of public health masters programs are can be one year, you might look into that. I think that you should definitely look into a science based masters if you go that route, that would look great with your business background. But don't cut yourself short bro, be positive about the DAT and your chances at getting in.
 
Yea, I was thinking that. Do u know if u can TA in that to avoid tuition?

I am definately staying positive, I just like having an "out" if you know what I mean...
