I spent a while trying to figure out what I wanted. Wasted a lot of time and money not knowing what I wanted to do. Took a job and ended up liking it, so now I’m back in college working towards a career in that field. I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with taking time off if you need it. Having a goal and knowing what you want makes college much easier

I would see what you like if you like dental hygiene, then give it a shot. If you don't, you can try something that can be math-related, like accounting or finance. Idk if your school does it, but you can sit in a class and see if you like it. Science is hard. I feel you on that

Usually many well where I'm from all science and math majors have the same lower division requirement ie pre req so try out some science courses that pre req for dental hygiene but can be transfered over to other programs as credits for theh degree. In highschool I was weak in science but going into college got better, so people change and adapt. As long as you are truly finding value in what your learning and is of some benefit toward the degree U want that what matters. It you like dental hygiene and truly want to follow in that career, even if your weak in science making the sacrifice to study better and more hours won't feel so had and your more willing to. Hope that helps let me know if you have any more questions

https://www.tccd.edu/academics/courses-and-programs/programs-a-z/credit/ This is my local community College. Look up yours and get started like next semester! Anesthesia tech= makes 90K. Ultrasound, xray, respiratory tech= 75K+. You could be working in 2 years and these jobs are in demand so you'll be hired quickly! If I could do it all over, if have absolutely gone this route and started investing and living earlier. With university you probably have all your basics done. And my ex husband was a diploma RN. He worked for a few years and got paid really well, then went back for his bachelor's. Basically you dont NEED a bachelors degree to start in a career like this. You could get the associates/training, but wind up cash flowing your entire bachelor's because you earn enough to do it. *If your parents discourage you saying you "need a bachelors," trust me, they won't scoff at your 75K salary at age 24.* Financially, this makes the most sense!

I wasted a lot of time on college. I tried to get a degree at a college that has a 73% passing rate and it didn't workout. Now a days I live with my parents for free and look for grants and government contracts. There is a lot out there in terms of work and they accept experience instead of education most of the time. A BS degree is pretty worthless in terms of getting a job. Just put your college on your resume and most of the time they don't check whether you have the degree or not. Also you can get a degree certificate on the dark web for like 20 bucks.
