How do I shadow someone in the career field I want to go into? (Multiple questions below)

I am a junior in high school and I really want to shadow a dentist and a sonographer because those are my top two choices. By shadowing it'll help me understand which career path I would rather go into. It would also give me some good experience. HOWEVER, my problem is no one is answering my emails. Has this happened to anyone? Is there anything else I should do? Is there something besides shadowing that will help me gain more insight?

How should I decide if I want to be a dentist or an ultrasound technician/sonographer?

I am a junior in high school and I'm having a hard time choosing what I want to become. My top choices are definitely a dentist or an ultrasound tech. However, I'm conflicted about which one to choose. Going the dentist route I'd be in school for longer, around 8 years while ultrasound tech would only take about 4. However, I wouldn't mind being in school for long (I hope). They both had good salaries too. Hence, why I am conflicted. PLEASEEE help me decide because I feel like I should make a choice soon so I know where I want to go to college.

How do stand out in dental school?

What is the best way for a sophomore in high school to stand out when getting into dental school. I want to either be a dentist or orthodontist. I want to job shadow but don’t know how to reach out. Also, is there anything else that would deem me a good fit. My school doesn’t have many advanced science classes. Ex: No AP classes.

How do I become a denist?

The school I want to go too, ( Northern Arizona University) has a 2 year dental program. I have asked this question before and the most common answer was to major in biology and then do medical school after. Do I just do the dental program while attending the college, or do I major in biology and then do dental school after? #Fall24

Can visually impaired or physically disabled people become dentists? Can you get time extensions in dental school if you have accommodations

I am completely blind in my left eye and I was wondering if I could still work in the oral cavity with limited vision. I am also in a wheelchair and I was wondering if there were any physically disabled dentists.
