“Then, I became a realtor, surgical assistant later on, like, when I was 37,” the reality star recalled at the time. “I went to school to get the degree that almost killed me. It took forever to get. It was, like, three years. I had to take a class to say the name of the classes that I was taking. I had to take medical terminology to say ‘pathophysiology.’”
After she broke the bank thanks to her reality TV life, Dolores became an entrepreneur.
“Well, [I’m also a] business owner,” she added. “See, I never think of myself [as a business owner]. I don’t think about things. I just do them. Entrepreneur, philanthropist. I do whatever I have to do.”

I consider myself very lucky to have met him and am really enjoying our time together.”
