You should become an orthodontist or a specialized kind of doctor (like plastic surgeon, brain surgeon, heart specialist, gasteroentrologist, or some such thing). Ideally, own and operate your practice, because that's where the multimillionaire-money is -- otherwise, being a doctor in this age is not that lucrative of a job. Some of my doctor acquaintances have trouble making the bill (whilst most of my software engineer acquaintances are doing exceedingly well).
