> It's one of the best class mobility pathways. Is it in the US? Spending 10+ years in school, all while drowning in 200k+ debt before you enter your practice is hardly what I'd call assured upward mobility. And then you still have to work those crazy 60+ hour weeks in the hopes that after your debt is paid off you can start to live as an established MD well into your middle age. Honestly, with all of that in mind being a dentist makes sense, being a physician does not. But then neither is being a founder at a startup, and we're all drawn to that for various reasons, too.
