I am 99% sure that I will join my uncle's general practice here in Florida. I think it is going to be very benefecial, as I will learn a lot with having my Uncle on my back, as he could teach all the dental tricks that are most commonly used in dentistry.
It all depends. I might go for a speciality it anything catches my fancy. I might join the Air Force or Navy if I get the three year program. Going into private practice sounds great, I would like to join a group practice. That way I could work with some more experienced Dentists just in case. Also it would allow more time off for vacations and being sick. One of the biggest pains with my fathers practice was that even if he was sick he still had to work.
