I want to go into dentistry, but I'm completely confused about the steps to become a dentist.
I’m a sophomore and rising junior in 2026–27, and my graduation year is 2028. By my senior year, I will have enough college credits to equal about two years of college. I’ve wanted to become a dentist for a while, but every time I research the steps, it feels complicated. Granted, I knew it would be hard, but I still feel confused. Right now, the steps I think I should take are: graduate from high school, go to college, major in biochemistry, join a dental program or do shadowing through my college if possible, graduate from college, and then go to dental school. I know that sounds choppy, which is why I’m trying to understand the process better. With the economy the way it is, I don’t want to struggle financially as a student. I also don’t really like science, but I think that may be because of my past teachers or my attitude toward school in general. Even so, I’m very good at science and have gotten all A’s for as long as I can remember, so I know I can handle the classes. One thing I’m really confused about is what other dentists’ paths looked like and how they reached their careers. I saw a comment about a college in Illinois that lets students become dental hygienists first and then continue on to become dentists. That route interests me, but I feel like there may be other options or similar opportunities too. I’ve especially been looking at HBCU colleges. Howard caught my attention because it also has a dental program. I want to have my plan set out clearly so I know what my next steps should be. If you haven’t noticed, I’m definitely a planner. Please help, and if you can share any tips, I would really appreciate it.

How do I create a completly unique non-profit that helps people who don't have proper access to healthcare?

I'm considering starting a non-profit that creates and distributes care kits containing essential items like period pads, heating pads, Tylenol, and similar products.

What interviewing practice resources are there for non-software positions?
Hi everyone, I’m a part-time PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. I previously worked at Boeing as a Systems Engineer and was recently affected by layoffs. I’m now actively seeking new opportunities in systems engineering—particularly in the automotive, healthcare, space, and broader aerospace sectors. I hold INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering) certification, a Python certification from Nucamp, and bring strong experience in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Simulink, and MATLAB. My work has always been guided by a systems thinking mindset and a passion for solving complex problems. As a U.S. Person (though not yet a citizen), I’m currently unable to work in some companies/ roles—but I look forward to the day I can serve in those areas too. I’m counting down the days until I can fully contribute to this country in the ways I know I’m capable of. My main question is how I can prep for interviews with companies such as SpaceX, Tesla, etc. I know there are websites for hard-core software engineers to get advice from people from Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. But I am not aware of such a thing for the systems engineering world. If you know of any opportunities or connections that align with my background, I’d truly appreciate your support or advice. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

What is Mental Health? How does it work? What does it look like?
I've noticed that mental health is a significant topic in our society today, and I'm eager to understand it better. I've heard differing perspectives, but I'd appreciate a real-life explanation of what mental health entails, beyond what textbooks offer. I understand mental health might vary across cultures, and I'm curious about the fundamental aspects that apply universally. Could you explain what mental health encompasses in practical terms, beyond just labeling someone as "crazy"? I'm also interested in how people achieve and maintain mental well-being beyond typical suggestions like going outside and meditating. What are some practical strategies that genuinely contribute to a balanced mental state? Furthermore, I'd like to understand what mental health isn't. There's a stigma around it, and I want to clarify misconceptions about mental health issues being a sign of weakness or something trivial. Lastly, could you explain the different dimensions of mental health—how our thoughts, physical health, and emotions interconnect to influence our overall well-being? I'm looking for insights that go beyond academic definitions and provide a deeper understanding based on real-life experiences. I'm approaching this topic with an open mind and a desire to learn more about mental health in a respectful and compassionate way. Any insights or personal experiences you can share would be invaluable to me. Thank you for helping me gain a clearer understanding of this important aspect of human health.
What career path works best for me?
I really value helping others, family, and fun. What jobs or career paths align with these values?
Hello! I am currently trying to get back into college and my major prior was Nursing. However, after a giveaway event I've done I found a love for social work. I'm currently 21 and I'm wondering if others can share their experience of being a social worker, especially from the women minority experience. In addition to if you're doing social work in a big city. Also if you can share the environment you use your degree in that would be amazing! Thank you again.
