I'd like your guys' opinion on this plan.
I'm 22 years old, I graduated from college in May 2010 from Berkeley (my major was sociology) and have since decided to go back to school and do pre-dental post bacc coursework. I've already applied to formal post-bacc programs nearby and will begin a formal program in the summer of 2011.
However, since it's been about 4 years since the last time I took any math/science classes, I'm considering quitting my job to enroll in trig/pre-calc (i'll take calc 1 over the summer), as well as basic physics and chem review at my hometown junior college for spring 2011. The junior college chem and physics courses are not equivalent to those that are required by medical/dental schools. They're just review to help prepare students for those pre-med classes.
Is it a good idea to quit work now to brush up on my math/science skills before formally starting my most-bac?
