same here. have always worked (high school, college, no college, etc etc).

been working as a dental assistant for the past year and a half and love it. The Dr. has been letting me make all the night guards that he has had for the past month and i haven't screwed up once yet.








still learning more and more everyday and i can't wait to get my hands on stuff in dental school. btw, i hated it when i was trying to pour cast without having air bubbles.

50+ hours a week working for a hospital in pharmacy information systems. Basically a pharmacy technician with an administrative role. Support on the new pharmacy system install (McKesson Horizon Meds Manager), interface testing and maintenance, Drug distribution system (Pyxis) system administrator, running reports, financial analysis of drug use, C II-V narcotic discrepancy reports, etc.. Its fun and I'm learning a ton about clinical informatics, drug and allergy interactions, etc.. but its not what I want to do with the rest of my life. It pays the bills for now though, while I finish up my pre-dent requirements.

Shout out to all those other SDNers working hard to achieve their dental dreams!

Work? That's all I do! 40 hours as a provider for disabled, 18 hrs TA biol lab, sales clerk on the weekends, and my research .... Almost outta here.. woowee. Can't wait til D school starts.

 

[ASUgrad]

Currently, working about 30 hours a week as dental assistant, I began by shadowing --> Interning --> Working. I also on monday's about 2 hours tutor/mentor middle school kids who are educationally a step behind. On Friday's I volunteer about 8 hours in a family transition center that helps find and then setup low income housing (from apartment -- toiletries) for people in transition.
So, all in all I contribute about 40 hours a week to work/volunteer and take classes (Physics and Anatomy) and study for the DAT, so to take it in May.

Those are my hours.

I am a technical support engineer for software testing tools at a very large software company. I'm also 27, and I haven't always desired to work in health care, so I guess you could say I'm getting a late start in all of this. This job has helped me to develop good diagnostic and troubleshooting skills, which I think will be helpful for me in the future.

Any other IT folks out there?

 

[misogi]

I'm currently working full time as a software engineer. I can't wait quit work and start dental school!
