Dentist. The Medical people seem to pay their blood up front and have the rest of their life set. Am I wrong about this? We seem to not have to pay anything up

Dentist. The Medical people seem to pay their blood up front and have the rest of their life set.
Am I wrong about this? We seem to not have to pay anything up front, but at the cost of a life long rat race.
If you want to talk flexibility, some of these doctors show up to the office like three times a week in the long run.
- bluebit 5y agoThat's the last thing I'd direct my kids towards. To spend a third of your waking life digging in people's dirty mouths because of the stable income is how dreams die.
- hiddencache 5y agoThanks for making me laugh out loud, appreciated.
- adrianN 5y agoThat's a good one, but I wonder whether improved dental hygiene practices will severely reduce dentists' incomes in the next decades. At least in my parent's generation all the expensive procedures were caused by poor nutrition and poor dental hygiene during their youth. There is also the possibility that one of those caries vaccines will finally make it to market.
- busterarm 5y agoThere's a large supply of Dentists out there not finding much work and there are way more medical school graduates than there are residencies for them. I know many many medical school graduates who eventually settled for careers in hospital administration because they could not even get a PGY-1 year anywhere. There's not enough supply of the required training. If you went to school in the Caribbean your odds are especially hopeless.
