Here's a little information about me:

I am 29 years old.
Graduated with a business degree in 2015 - my GPA was not so good 2.89 - I'm not trying to make excuses but I'm always worked full time in the worst field - personal injury.
I worked at a dental office as a dental assistant (never went to school for it, the dentist trained me).
I have been working as a litigation paralegal for the past 5 years in the insurance defense industry.
I've always wanted to become a dentist but life just got in the way.
I recently took an accelerated general chem class 1 (4 weeks) at southern California University of health sciences and received a C for lecture and B for lab ( while working 50 hours a week) I plan to take them over again as I need to get an A.

What exactly should I do? A post-bacc program or just take dental school requirements. If I take the dental school requirements, I plan to take them at La Sierra University. Will I even be considered for any dental schools in my 30s? I plan to quit my job and get a part time as this job is very stressful and far- my total commute a day is 4 hours. I'm earning about 75k to 80k a year depending on how much overtime I work.
