Can you interview a pharmacist? I think it might be an interesting career, however I heard that the market is too saturated. #confused

Brian has great teeth.

Brian has awesome smile and teeth He is a born dentist

Really agree with most of his points about why he wanted to be a dentist. Being able to Work in private practice is a big deal for me.

You & Brian's friendship is so inspiration!!! Having a good friend to surpass milestones with is a blessing! Wishing you both love & prosperity in your careers & marriages 👍

Thanks so much Andrea. Your videos are always so uplifting and inspiring!

Loved the new video Andrea! You guys rock :) Keep posting videos because they are very inspirational and life changing :)

Andrea this video was awesome!! Thank you so much!

Hahaha i had a good chuckle when he said that botany and studying plants sounded like torture because I agree 100%! Great video as always!

by far one of my favorite videos! i was thinking about dentistry as well, so getting both aspects helped a lot! :)

omg bryan´s teeth

Love these Andrea! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the upload! I'm getting ready to apply to dental school and this was really helpful :)

Hey Andrea thanks so much for the new videos! I was wondering if you would also consider making videos about how to study for individual classes in med school. For instance anatomy, pathology pharmacology, etc. Like what textbooks + review books you found to be the best for each particular subject and how you used them. Thanks so much!

This was an amazing interview. He is so kind and personable :)

Great vid! Thank you for this!

Thank you for this! It was great.

So helpful! Thank you both so much!!

Brian reminds me of young David Bowie. The video is really interesting even for non-dentists :) I wish this youtube thing with plenty of important career advice existed more than a decade ago.

I really enjoyed this video. You and Brian should do more videos focusing on dentistry.

Good video. I've actually been thinking about dentistry vs med school

Omg most of Brayan's reasons why he choose dentistry are the same exact reasons why I choose it that was so help full thanQ so much for the great interview

OMG me too ..

It's interesting to know how similar pre-med and pre-dent students are! :) I had a lot of classmates that were pre-dent and were doing the exact same things as me (i.e. studying a lot, prepping for DAT/MCAT).

Great advice! I also started out college pre-med, until my RN Mother convinced me to look into dental school - at the encouragement of her physician friends!! ("Your daughter shouldn't go to medical school, she should go to dental school!"). I was also a Chemistry major, and I truly believe this made me stand out as an applicant. Everyone majors in Bio, Chemistry is perceived as a more challenging major. I was fluent in Spanish, another great bonus, especially with patients at dental school at the University of Southern California and pediatric residency in Nevada (University of Nevada Reno School of Medicine, this was pre-UNLV dental school, so that program has since closed). I hope you have videos about the COST of school and how healthcare has changed... Unless your parents are very wealthy or you win the lottery, expect to make a mortgage-sized student loan payments every month. Insurance has truly changed the world of medicine and dentistry, so make sure you're really passionate about working with and helping people. That should be your number one priority. Try to minimize your debt. My advice would be to take as many pre-requisite courses at a small community college as possible. Yes, check your ego at the door and go to community college for 2 years. Earn your bachelors degree from a more affordable state school vs. a for-profit private school. Save your big bucks for graduate school, that's really the only degree your patients care about. Trust me. I feel fortunate to have zero undergrad debt. I also recommend seeking out residency programs that offer good training AND good pay! Don't go further into debt to specialize. The program should pay you, treating patients earns money for the program/and or sponsoring hospital. I matched with my #1 ranking program and it paid the highest. Good luck and best wishes to everyone!

drjmaclean great advice...unfortunately very few orthodontics residencies pay, so the majority of ortho residents (including myself) are paying full tuition to complete the residency

Just wanted to let you know that i love all your videos and learn a lot from them even though i have no interest whats so ever in being part of the medical field. In fact, im a pre-law student but truely take in all the advise you give because it sure does help!

Good thing I've never partied or anything. I truly hope I do become a dentist just like my mom! This is a very good video with a lot of good tips! Thank you so much

Loved it, very helpful! You should interview a physician assistant! !!

Loving the new spin! Even though I have no plans to change my major, I still think of being a nurse or something in the health care field. Just love getting my love for science and health care through these videos!

Thank you *SOSOSO much* for this!!

hey Brian!!! I"m from Colorado also!! Im a pre-dental student at CU Denver!! :)

Thank u so much for this!!! :)

I can so relate to Brian and how he takes longer to study the same amount of material as other people >.< its a struggle but it made me feel better to know theres other people who are going through it too.

Awesome vid, very informative thank you! If you know any DO's (osteopathic physician) can you plz do an interview?

I recently discovered this channel and I'm glad I did. Andrea you're my idol from now. Thank you so much for this video :) Very informative, it helped me a lot Can you please make video on how to practice medicine in the US after getting a medical degree from abroad?

That was really interesting! And I'm an old-guy with a grown daughter who went to college back in the 80's! :)

Really enjoyed this video, Andrea - thank you! It was great to hear from Brian about his journey. Can you post a link to Brian's wife's blog? Looking forward to the next video!

Brian Rochford I have a question.. I originally started off college kind of rough. I was 18 caught up in the College scene and didn't do the best I could and my GPA sunk tremendously and I was a Business major. Not too long ago I got focused and decided to go into Dentistry. I know that it is smart to have the Highest GPA possible starting college but I didn't and I don't want to settle and do something I don't want to do. Do you have any advice? I'm in a time of uncertainty and watching this helped and hearing from you would be highly grateful.

Very helpful!!! Thank u I love your friendship 💘💘

you guys are so cute !! i am becoming a dentist, watching this made me feel really good !!! thank you so much !!! i am now in my second year of college about to take my DAT next spring so i will studying for that this summer !!!

puerto diego I’m kinda nervous about picking this career path. I don’t really feel that I care as much about helping people so much as I do about filling a job I feel I was made to fill. I feel like if I do anything less than dentistry, pharmacy, or chemistry than I’ll be throwing away my potential to live a wealthy relaxed life. Scared that Maybe I’m motivated for the wrong reasons. What made you decide to go down the dentistry path? I’m really just motivated by freedom to work for myself, good pay, and a moderately stressful job.

Andrea, could you do a video for pre-meds about getting letters of recommendations from professors and doctors?Thanks! Love your blog and your channel so much! (:

This was such a great video Andrea! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this vlog. It has answered so many questions! Through watching your videos on KZread and reading your blog, you have helped tremendously! You are a blessing to many people. I just want you to know that! My question for you is this. How were you able to study/pass your MCAT without majoring in Biology? I know you said that in the beginning of your college career you changed your mind from majoring in Biology to majoring in English. What were helpful science classes that prepared you for your MCAT? Botany, Evolution, Zoology, etc.

kferrera04 You have to take biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics to take the MCAT- but that's all you need!

Thank you for this, Can you also offer advice for Post-Bacs Pre Meds or Non-traditional students trying to get into med school

I don't know bit Brian's smile is really nice he defiantly takes care of his teeth

It's very interesting to see how similar the path is for dentistry. Also, I just gotta say that he has a great set of teeth.

Brian me and you seem to have a lot in common, ha. My question to you is, as a fellow aspiring orthodontist, are you at all worried about the job market for this career? I keep hearing about an over saturation in this particular field which sways me towards the medical route. Thoughts?

Thank you for this! I'm a pre dental student and this inspired me. 😊

Real dentist really goood friend from college

Are there any tutoring things like online bc at my college, there isnt really anything i feel like that can help me & I SEVERELY need help with chemistry. Future dentist, btw :)

i want to be a orthedonist however my gcses in science and maths was a c so the college didnt let me do science is there actually away were i can do dentistry despite my low gcses

very inspiring!

wow i watched this video as a sophomore in HS, now as a senior I'm so nervous/excited......not going to major in chemistry haha bio major(Thumbs Up)

I love how you're mixing up your channel! When he said, "My patients don't die," I couldn't help but smile. Is that evil?

I would love to watch a video about being a naturopathic doctor.

Hi I'm interested in dentistry. In the USA, Do I have to take a degree before being able to pursue dentistry? I've heard that in the UK, I can directly take the dentistry course after college( A levels/ IB DP). Any advice?

After watching you video I now know that one`s college major doesn`t make a difference in getting into Medical School.... But, I love biology. Like I could spend hours studying it. I got into both science honours and kinesiology honours. I do not know which of the two would better benefit me... PS) Physics and I do not really work out.... What would you suggest? PS) If you ever visit Vancouver, Canada. Feel free to message me :) Love the videos!

on German tests, I fail. meet a German person(in Germany or not) I can make myself known easily and understand everything, maybe my grammar isn't the best, but I can make myself known. same for really really base level French. only then only kind of getting the meaning of what they say, so not really. Lol.

Hello Andrea. What school did you both go to that was Both a medical and dental school?

Hi! I really hope you see this because I'm a freshman in college and I'm genuinely overwhelmed on my degree plan towards medical school. I'll love to know what you did after your received your undergraduated degree. I know you majored in English. Did you work after that and saved up for medical school? Because i've been in constant battle inside myself to major in nursing so I can work a bit, save up and proceed to med. That would be practical. But, I watched one of your videos and it really touched me into really exploring my college life. If I'm going to spend the rest of my life studying science, why not go into something like Philosophy as a major (which I'm currently considering) then proceed to Medicine. Your answer would be extremely helpful. I ADORE your videos, Andrea. Thank you so much and have a splendid day :)

aMeRiCaNiDoLrOcKz997 Hi! I went straight from college to med school. I had student loans to pay for med school, so I didn't work or save money. I think nursing is an awesome career, but I don't think it's the best pre-med path. Because honestly, you will have to pay for nursing school and if you work a few years to "save up" it might not even cover the cost of nursing school you know? So then you've wasted time and haven't really saved any money... just my 2 cents!!

Hi Andrea! Thank you for replying. Yeah that's true. It's that I came from the Philippines and I got misinformed on what a Premed undergraduate would be there vs here in the U.S. So yes, I don't think I'll take nursing as my premed and I'll look into what else I can major in. Plus, your advice right now seems pretty practical and realistic too. It makes sense. Thank you for all your videos! They've been immensely helpful.

I'm about to go into pre dental at Pitt with a goal of being an orthodontist as well do you have any extra advice?

...No, the major difference is that as a DDS you basically run a business, and how much you get paid depends on your business model, and if you specialize, and what procedures you WANT to offer, and these procedures aren't very extensive. I've shadowed several dentists, and the job is monotonous. I've shadowed an oral surgeon, and specializing as a dentist is EVEN MORE monotonous, because you do the same thing over and over... So if you really feel the need to help people, go medical. If you want a relaxing, salary rewarding, and a heck of lot less stressful job then dental. Also medicine in USA is changing rapidly, so it's something to keep an eye on. Something you can do is a dual degree (6 years) and get a MD, and a DDS. I know an oral surgeon that did this, and if you choose to you can perform head neck surgeries through this route. Personally, I like money and a relaxing life so i'd choose dentistry for sure... People just look at big salaries of surgeons and want to be doctors, but the job is way more stressful.

Of course he has movie star teeth, he's a dentist!

i cant stop watching his teeth
