    Henry,

    If you decide to go to medical school, you may find out that you like some other division of medicine better. If this is your desire, then go for it...
    I know I am going to sound like a mom (I am a mom)but I am just looking out, so here it goes!!!

    Henry, you really need to find one direction that you want to take in your life. You are all over the place in your decision making. Everything that you are considering (AA, Dental School, Medical School) are all VERY different routes to take. Make sure that any route you take, that you are happy with it. If money is the top issue for you, find something that you like, stick with it, and find out what the highest paying option in "that something that you really like" is. PLEASE hear me when I say, you are not going to be happy chasing money. I know of doctors that went to medical school "because it was in the family" that aren't happy with the choice that they made. We have enough unhappy people out here on prescriptive drugs and we don't need to add any more.
    It looks like to me from your other post that you really like dentistry. If that is the case, then look into the maxillofacial division, they are high paying surgeons of dentistry.... I am just trying to help a younger person not make the mistakes that others have made.....

    You have SOOO much time ahead of you, take your time and research your options. Plug into Google something outlandish that you think may not exist but is something that you like and check it out... You never know, it might exist!!!

    As far as the MCAT goes, wait until you take physics. Give yourself every opportunity to do well on the test because you only want to have to take the test once. The test is gruesome. Take your time....you will get there...... You are SOOO lucky to have so many options in front of you and the time to pursue them..... Good luck!!
