In reply to the discussion: Rich ass dentists [View all]yeoman6987
(14,449 posts)2. When I was in college, I thought about dentistry,
But chose education. How dumb....JK. I love teaching. I am not sure if many students think of studying dentistry in college. Maybe they should if it is that good. I suppose at 46 I could go become a dentist but no, I'll stick to teaching. Not a ton of money but I like the job. I have nephews coming up to college age. I might suggest dentistry to them. It is awesome the possibilities my nephews have to chose from in school. I hope they chose money over passion. I didn't but that really is where the money is.

Your dentist sounds like mine also. I've run across jerks, but that can be said for any profession

Ever notice the ones who give free care to people who are homeless, or veterans, or have HIV/Aids?
