Let me paraphrase my thoughts and just say, after having gone through many career choices I really have double downed on wanting to pursue dentistry.

What I have found out of all the career school choices, that dental and med school is in fact the most simplest and straightforward to be accepted into.

I struggled with this for someone that originally thought I wanted to be an engineer. I have a 4.0 GPA in environmental science. There are hundreds of post-bacc med and dental certificate programs that allow you to take your missing prereqs. Med and dental schools are not picky in regards to what your undergrad was for the most part. If you score high on the DAT and have solid grades, you actually have a pretty good chance at schools accepting you. For example Harvard University even has extension school.

For other STEM careers I have found they are way more pickier about what your degree was and what classes you take in your bachelors. There are not really post-bacc programs for other STEM majors (I.E. nuclear engineering, geology, hydrology, mechanical engineering, chem engineering)

Out of all the schools I applied to for different careers I was once interested in, dental and med schools were the only ones to reply back immediately. I don't believe people give that enough thought or consideration. My undergrad was environmental science and now I'm applying to dental schools and taking the DAT. That is something I really respect about the medical and dental community. They give everyone the opportunity to pursue.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads right now and don't know what to do.

I am about to complete an undergrad in environmental science. 4 years ago I had no idea what I wanted to do. Now I realize that geology is something I'm passionate about. Problem is my degree contained no geo classes.

Now I'm a bit stuck. Graduated with 4.0 GPA but can't get into any masters programs because they require a geo background and want a relevant undergrad, and I don't want to have to get a second bachelors.

Any reccomendations?

trying to put my family together, but I've sort of hit a pothole.

Margaret E. Healy (maiden name) is listed as the mother, born Aug 4th 1892 in Passaic NJ. On her gravestone and oh obituary she died Oct 2nd 1952.

Her daughter in records is listed as Rousseau in the obituary. In immigration papers it lists her DOB of Helen E. Rousseau as March 23, 1899. She's burried with her "mother". On same gravestone it lists day she died but no birthdate. April 4th, 1954.

What could this mean? Is it possible she was a stepchild from another marriage? Why would it list her sisters then all from the same father?

I've always been interested about the history of enforcing traffic laws.

Today in many states if you get three speeding citations in more than a two-year period, you lose your license.

Watching old movies from the 70s in the 80s, there's the cliché joke of someone opening up theur glove compartment and out falls 20 or 30 unpaid speeding tickets.

Was there once a time in history where drivers would keep getting speeding tickets over and over again and not lose their license?

A few have reccomended to me schools or colleges that offer classes.

I'm surprised to not see many private classes being offered by jewlers in my area. I live outside Boston. Guitar lessons, piano lessons but not this.

Any reccomendations for the Northeast? I would legit be willing to pay for private lessons and even supply my own rough gems.

Question out there for you geos.

I'm finishing a bachelors in environmental science and interested in pursuing a masters in geology.

Being out in the field and chasing minerals is something that highly interests me. I'm also interested in a stable paycheck.

I'm not sure how that usually works. If I would be an independent contractor most of the time, or a full time employee with benefits.

I'm not so much interested in knowing how many you make as that varies greatly depending on circumstance, but I value stability more. I don't want to be constantly chasing and struggling to find work. Curious to hear other experiences out there.

Correct me if wrong.

It appears that Dr Squatch just reformulated their deodorants to a gel instead of powder.

I really liked it except, after wearing it for a day I felt that my armpits stung bad. I sort of like the way the other deodorants acted even though the new products are less messy.

Anyone else try out the new formula?

This is sort of the strangest thing that has ever happened to me.

I couldn't understand why my uploaded video from my iPhone that has HDR turned off, was not staying a consistent brightness.

Then I looked over at my brightness controls. During playback all of the settings are changing rapidly in real time, bars moving back and fourth.

Can't get it to stop. Tried making a new project, reinstalling. It does that to all my uploaded clips. Almost like an auto exposure turned on. What is this?

I live in Mass.

There are online enthusiasts. A lot who live out in desert on the West Coast and Mexico that hunt for gem stones and rocks and resell them online. I thought this would make a great hobby taking my geological skills and combine passion to make some side income.

Most places I have found in Mass and New Hampshire don't allow commercial mining unless you own the land and it's private property. Where do people actually go in New England where you won't get in trouble with the law for doing this?

Looking for fun recommendations for pay to mine private parks where you can find serious enough deposits to start a small side business. Does anything like that exist out here?
