I graduated last May with a B.S. in Psychology and have been debating whether or not to go into Dentistry because the truth is while I enjoy research, I do not feel like living work as my life. I want a 40 hour week for my career which is not something that is easy to get in any profession.
While going to school I worked in a lot of different "small jobs" such as telephone customer service, sales, and technical support. I have the people skills and have learned a lot from dealing with irate people and while counseling was the original path, I can't help but feel attracted to this profession and one of the reasons why I noticed this was because of an event that reminded me of this interest I had.
A few weeks ago I met a gentleman who had horrible teeth, I didn't say anything but wished I could help him myself or give him funds to do such a thing.
My problem at this point is that when I graduated with my degree it was with a 3.041 cumulative gpa and while I did graduate with a B.S. it was social sciences mainly that made up the load of coursework. I didn't take chemistry or physics and took only one semester of Biology 150 with a lab back in my freshman year.
Given this: Should I look for some kind of Post-bac program to get the courses I need to try for the DAT or is it possible that I could have some amount of success by preparing for the DAT with a prep. book.
It is too late at this point I believe to get into some of the programs that are nearby me for the post-bacc but I could enroll at NDSU to take some courses next Fall or summer even.
Your time and opinion would be greatly appreciated,
I tried to get in touch with Creighton but they are on their break 😀
