i'm 17/f
i'll be a senior in high school this year, and it's time for me to decide what i wanna do with my life.
i'm going to be going to school next year to get my cosmetology licence. ( my school has a program where i transfer half a day to beauty school )
but when i think of going to a university or something, i always think that i might wanna go to be a dental hygienest. i'm gonna be honest to those of you who dont know, it takes alot of science and math. i KNOW that with alot of hard work that i can get the grades i need in college to get into hygiene school. but it's going to be very hard for me. it takes me a long time to understand those types of things. my mom has worked in dental offices forever, as long as i can remember, so i pretty much grew up in them, i already know alot about the dental business and everything, and i think that i could make a really good hygienist.
i really think i might wanna do it, but would it even be worth it, since it would be such a struggle for me to get the good grades in the math and science? i wanna know an honest opinion. thank youuu!

To try, work hard and not reach your goal is nothing to be ashamed of. To ask if is something is to hard to try for because you are afraid to faile, is something to be ashamed of. There is nno shame in failing other than what you attach to it. If. You can say you gave an honest effort then you have nothing to worry or be ashamed about.
You know what the work is, you have seen the work being done. If this is the life's work,you want todo then speak with those doing then work tomsee what you need to study. Itt might be better to forget about the cosmetology class's and take class's that will give you a jump start on the dental classes you will need.
No one can make this decision for you. This one of the many adult decisions younwill face in life and must make for yourself. People can offer advise, you hav to make the decision yourself.
My advise is this: In bad economic times people willmstillmneed to take care of their teeth and may have insurance to defray the cost. Will the have the money to go to hair stylist or will that money go towards something more important. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

As for the classes and grades, there are options to help you. For example, every college has labs and tutoring sessions to help if you find yourself struggling. And these are completely free. This should take some of the load off grade wise. It definitely helps that your mom knows the business well and can help you in some areas. If you are passion and completely sure this is what you want to do, I don't see why you can't. As long as you believe that you can, then you will.
