I'm currently a 1st grade teachers aid....but the thing is...I'm still in high school. My job is stressfull but I like it...however I always wanted to get into medical school, but when I was a lil girl I wanted to be a dentist. Which would be the best field to get into. Which would be the hardest to get into. Plz no smart alleck crap..this is serious, I graduate high school in 3 months. Thank you

you don't have to make a decision now. Get into college. the course work for pre-med and pre-dent is almost the same. Dental schools are slightly easier to get into ...but only by a little. Best thing to do is to do some internships over the summer. Do one in a dental office and one in a medical office first and second years in school. that'll help you decide which field you are more suited to. But don't sleep on medical research...that's where the excitement is. for an undergrad major, if you don't pick biology or biochemistry or microbiology...I suggest medical technology.

I was a high school English teacher for five years and there is a reason that this profession has such a high turnaround. It is tough tough tough... for many reasons which I shall not bore you with. Ultimately, you must pursue something that you trutly enjoy doing... easier said than done because a lot of people, including myself, aren't really sure what exactly that is. My advice is to go after dentistry since it's something that you saw yourself doing when you were young. Teaching doesn't require a lot of extra schooling up front -- which is nice -- but you'll have to take ongoing professional development classes each time your State adds another requirement on to your credential.
I wish you happiness in whatever career you pursue and commend you for thinking so seriously about something so important at such a young age! Good luck!

i suppose it has to do with the more crafty/hands on/artisic/detailed clinical work involved. the first couple of years when you study both dentistry and medicine, they are similar because it's pretty much book work, theory. but eventually the clinical aspect of dentistry is a much broader and manually demanding field than urology/ophtalmology. although, educators speculate that eventually these two fields might fall under the same medical discipline instead of being separated

well, you have to go to college first, see how that goes and then make your decision, both dental school and medical school are hard
