It's a pretty tough question, but .... What if you don't get into dentistry and no matter how hard you worked or tried, the powers that be will never let you in? What would you do instead?

Thought it'd be fun to see the variety of responses.

Honestly, I would probably have to do another degree or a trades diploma.

My undergrad degree isn't very practical and I also never took the initiative to network and such. Just hoping I don't have to cross that bridge lmfao
 
I would probably apply to optometry school to be honest, it's something that has always fascinated me 🙂
 
Genetic counseling would be way fun. Genetics is such an exploding subject it would be fun to ride the wave.
 
Real Estate. My mom is one and is really successful at it. So I'd probably work with her for a while and then branch off. Every now and then I still get tempted with that option.
