Prerequisite Classes at a Community College?
Hi everyone, I'm a college student studying on a pre-med track, and I'm planning to take math (calculus) and physics classes at a community college to help reduce the cost of my education.

Do I still qualify for the 1098-t form?
I had talked to my counselor before the summer and she suggested that I enrolled in my nearest community college as a freshman in high school to take free college courses over the summer. I filled out the special form and eveeything, but I wasn't able to enroll in any classes so I just forgot about it. But today, I got an email from the admin saying that I had to provide some documents in order to get my 1098-t form. I did a little bit of research but I am still wondering if I still get the form because I never payed anything to them or was even a student.

What would I do to become a dental hygienist or an ultrasound technician? (multiple questions in the description)
I am having trouble deciding whether I want to be a dental hygienist or an ultrasound technician. Either way, I am unsure of what I am meant to do to become either or. I was doing some research and they said I could just go to community college as you only need 2 years (associate degree) to become a dental hygienist (not sure about ultrasound technician) Is that true? Could I still go to a regular college instead and do 4 years to get my bachelor's? How many years would these professions take? What should I know before going into these fields? What college major would they fall into?

Associates in Criminal Justice a waste of time if wanting to become a Forensic Anthropologist ?
Hello everyone. I want to become a Forensic Anthropologist and I know it's a lot of work and schooling which is fine. But I enrolled in a Community College recently to up my GPA from the last College I attended which was another Community College. I was okay with this plan until I 1) spoke with an advisor who wanted me to do an add on certificate, which I really don't believe I need. She also totally ignored the bigger picture of what I wanted to do by getting my PHD later on. 2) I realized after doing additional research that I merely need a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology, plus my Master's and PHD to get into Forensic Anthropology. Making my current degree track in Criminal Justice useless? My question is should I get my associates in Criminal Justice? Would it be an asset to me later on? Or is it a massive waste of time and I should consider transferring after a year? Any advice would be great, thanks!

What should a person starting with community college do to become an optometrist ?
I am a just graduated high school student, and I want to become an optometrist. I personally don't have great vision and use glasses everyday of my life, which has caused me to get interested in the study of the eyes and to then want to go to school for optometry. After high school, I am going to a community college. What classes should I take there to get my basics done and also have my pre requisites for university after community college? What would be a good major to major in community college and university? Which pre reqs should I have completed before optometry school? Is med school required to pursue this career? I also would like to know what major would be good for undergrad? Is a doctorate required to become an optometrist? And what would look good for optometry school? I havent started community college yet, and have a long way ahead of me to optometry school, but I am confused on how to start the path for it as someone who is going to a community college first. I plan on furthering my education after community college, I just don't know what would be the best classes and majors to choose to then continue into optometry school. Any tips or extra advice would be highly appreciated. :)

Can I attend a trade school and community college at the same time?
I am currently finishing my first year at Sacramento City college. I plan on attending UEI (a trade school) here in Sacramento. They have a nine month program that will allow me to obtain an automotive degree. Ideally I would like to achieve my degree before I finish my two years at city college and eventually transfer to a four year. A detail that may help to better answer this question is that my workload at city college is fairly minimal (even as a full time student. I was only required to attend class two days a week for a few hours. For this reason I feel it may be do-able to attend both schools simultaneously. However, I could have no idea what I’m talking about. Does anyone feel they have a more definite answer to my question? Or maybe some insight as to why it isn’t the best decision to attend both? Thank you!
