Arc's Post-A-Lot

[Arc]

It is a dental clinic, but the students are the dental providers (their last 2 years of dental school are clinic based and they’re supervised by licensed dentists). Unfortunately, I don’t get free dental work.

Speaking of kid’s medicine, I used to love taking Dimetapp as a kid. It tasted like grape candy, in my opinion. =w=

Well note to self, when your throat hurts like when you are a kid take the kid's liquid medicine!!
<wish I had thought of it before I got one of the adult tablets stuck in my throat>

When I worked in the dental office I got free cleanings & fillings & paid half price for more extensive work.

Maybe one of the new Dentists to be will be so impressed by you they will want you to move to their office! Is that an option for you? Or would you rather not?

oof

[Arc]

I might have to try the kid's medicine idea. I never thought of that! :'O

Nah, I don't want to continue in the dental field after this job.

[Arc]

It's so cooooolllddddd.

My shiny teeth and me~

At least it pays the bills & looks good on a reference. Did you say if you can get a discount on classes working at the University? Maybe take advantage of that if it does?

[Arc]

My tuition would be paid for, I believe. I'm still trying to figure out what I'd study, but nothing has stood out to me so far yet. :'/ I'm sure I'll figure something out in due time.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

what about classes for your artwork? or managing your own business? or marketing yourself?

Take advantage of all the opportunities you have coming your way.

[Arc]

I've looked at some majors and classes for those options. It's just a matter of me figuring out what I truly want to do. I have notes at my desk of me trying to come up with plans. @-@ I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to speak with an advisor for their advice.

[Ashton]

talk with people in those fields to get up to date info on pro and cons of each.

[Arc]

One of my classmates from college recently got their Master's here in art education, I believe. I've been thinking of reaching out to them for some insight.

Last year I talked with an advisor for another major, but after that meeting I feel like I'm back at square one. I think my problem is that I want to do so much and can't figure out how to narrow my options. I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Not sure if this applies at this point, but do you have a big goal--like if you could snap your fingers and make it come true right now, what would you like to do for work? Do you have two or three or more ideas you'd like to explore?
(Pyramid narrowing approach)

The other approach is what field (I think I can guess this one) do you want to work in? Are there any job in that field you wouldn't do (even if would might have to to get started or somewhere along the line)?
(Baseball field approach)

You can and will do both to some extent (Pyramid requires Baseball field strategy), but you need to know/have the answers to both to get on the path.

I don't know what my big goal is, tbh. Maybe make books, sell prints and merch online and at conventions, become a content creator. I'm not sure. I originally wanted to work at an animation studio, but that interest in gone.
