Michelle writes: I have been planning, ever since I can remember, to be an orthodontist. My school (SUNY Buffalo) does not offer a pre-dentistry major. So I am majoring in anthropology, and taking a pre-dentistry pathway. I am afraid that I will not get into dental school. What other careers could I do with an anthropology degree?
You can find tons of great stuff — including information about the Dental Admission Test (DAT) — at the American Dental Association Website.
So, while I think you are on a good track for becoming a dentist, assuming you are doing well in college, I also laud you for doing some research on a secondary career should dentistry end up not working for you.
Students earning bachelor’s degrees in anthropology can do any number of things related specifically to their major, including: anthropologist, archeologist, analyst, researcher, teacher, and many others. You can find loads more information at one of my favorite sites for students, the what can I do with a major in anthropology section of the “What Can I do With a Major in…” from the Career Services staff at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
You can find all sorts of this type of career information in the Career Exploration section of Quintessential Careers.
