I became utterly disgusted and I chose to "jump ship" to gain more clinical experiences by pursuing my entrepreneurial spirit in mental health and wellness. I also am studying to become a health and wellness coach. I am also gearing up for palliative care by volunteering at a local Hospice under grief and bereavement for a year or more. I do not have a verifiable "clinical training" that certain people think one must have in my area, although I have been a dental assistant well over 20 years. But whatever, go figure... Oh well, whatever! I am thoroughly enjoying my current pursuits and am glad that I have found my passion, which some astute people actually see...

Interesting. I sat out of school for awhile and eventually I'm going back. However, I have been thinking about going into the medical field. I was a biology major when I was in school, my first year. I got married young, sat out and now I'm divorced. I'm not sure if I'm cut out to be a dr. so I may pursue a degree in music. The question I have, is it possible to change career paths once you're already in your career? Would I have to start over, or would some of the credits transfer in? You've done a lot but it's all related to medicine, or something biological. I'm just trying to see if it's possibe to change over.
