Should I become a pediatric dentist or a general dentist??
I’m a 16-year-old high school junior, and I’m trying to decide whether I should become a pediatric dentist or a general dentist. I would love to work with kids, and I want to help children feel less scared of going to the dentist. What are the benefits and challenges of becoming a pediatric dentist compared with becoming a general dentist? How are the two careers different, including how much money dentists can make and how long it takes to become each type of dentist? The three colleges I’m mainly considering are Ohio State University, Howard University, and the University of Toledo. They are my top options because each has a dental program or a dental college connected to it. I’m also taking college classes through Tri-C, and I’m about halfway done with my undergraduate degree. How could the college classes I’m taking through Tri-C affect my path to dental school? What should I consider when choosing between these three colleges? What steps would I need to take after my undergraduate degree to become a general dentist or a pediatric dentist? What advice would you give someone my age who is interested in either career?

What should I do after graduating college?
I recently got accepted into Notre Dame's Master's of Science in Digital Marketing program, and I have less than a month to decide whether to go or not. I am currently a senior at Eastern Illinois University and work as a creative media intern for the FCS-level Division 1 athletic program. My goal is to work for a college athletic department in marketing, communication, or student-athlete brand development. I don't want to be stuck doing content creation such as video and graphic design forever. I want to work at the Power 4 level eventually. If I went to Notre Dame, I would have to take out at least $50k more in student loans. I likely will be able to be a student intern for Notre Dame athletics social media, which is paid hourly, but I have not found any opportunities that directly help pay tuition. My other path would be applying for entry-level jobs in college athletics or other graduate assistantships, but those opportunities won't really be open for me until around January since I am graduating in May. I understand working in sports, especially college athletics, is all about connections, so I understand how valuable building a network at Notre Dame can be. Especially since my network is mainly just Eastern Illinois, which isn't at the Power 4 level and where I want to end up eventually. Plus I understand having connections with the Mendoza School of Business will be very helpful if I want to work outside of sports.
