I was one of those who was on the fence of Medicine vs Dentistry - I saw Dentistry as a specialty of medicine, but I do sometimes wonder if I made the wrong decision.
As a field, I love it and have no doubt that I will love practicing. But, would that have differed in medicine at all? I love people and patient care, both of which are in said fields...
The massive debt that is accompanied with Dental School as well as the lower income coming out is what is making me second guess my decision - purely financially because I see Dentistry as Medicine
I mean coming out, I will probably end up doing a GPR paying me 50k and than working as an associate for a couple of years making ~150k if I am lucky...than I will be lucky to making 200 while my Medicine counterparts are making ~300k+ after a 3 year residency
Anyone else hear share my sentiments?
