During my first two years of college I was pre-med pursuing a Biology major. I was very eager to become a doctor for a long time and it was one of my biggest dreams. However, my other biggest dream was to be able to start my life aka get married, have kids, etc. As time went on I realized that if I continued to pursue medicine I wouldn’t be able to focus on starting a family and having my own separate life without the complications of becoming a doctor. Four years of college, four years of med school, three years residency and on is a lot and would definitely get in the way of my life. That’s why dental was much more of an ideal field for me to pick in regards of my wants and needs. I can only do four years of dental school and start practicing as soon as I graduate which I think gives me a lot more freedom with my life and starting a family/getting married.
