The strategy of doing in parallel is: To attend dental school, but spending much less time on dental school than other students, getting like 2.5 GPA, just aim to pass and graduate in dental school. (In Taiwan, it’s really feasible. Our dental school training is NOT rigid. In fact every time I went to dentist I always think maybe this dentist doesn’t work hard in school)
Imagine: All of the students in dental would know there’s a weird guy called Jack that is studying AI every day and never studies dental school seriously
Once you graduate in dental school, you can get the dental license at any time(even 10 years later) if you passed the exam. Therefore, for me after I graduated from dental school, if I later found myself better at EtG and not direct work, then I can self study dentistry again for years, pass the licence exam and start practicing.
You may ask: Why don’t you study CS first, if 10 years later I found out myself isn’t good enough in direct working, then I apply to dental school? Because I expect dental school would be much harder to apply in the future(which could be nearly impossible to apply)
I’m not saying I’m def nitely going to do this( the probability is around 35%), as I said with you in private messages, I’ll test my personal fit for 2 years first. If I found myself bad at CS, then research mentorship wouldn’t matter at all Because I won’t do CS research in parallel. But if after 2 years I found myself seem to be good at direct work, but not confident then it seems it’s the best plan)
