There has been a recent rash of ignorance displayed by numerous "I assumed" bright individuals. Please don't clutter our threads with non-sense and more importantly ignorance. Please read the following it will be like....well...Business 101
Money.com/CNN recently reported incomes and lifestyle of "jobs/careers (meaning employees etc...) but they use salary.com as its source----its amazing how bright people can't figure this out. Salary.com and the federal gov. employee salary results are of Salaried EMPLOYEES-----the only salary employed dentists are those working for government owned prisons, health care centers, reservations, etc... They are the lowest paying dentists and they actually avg. $122,000 Not bad for employees. The flip-side is medicine which nearly 95% are EMPLOYEES of hospitals----they receive a salary and are told what to do by the insurance companies and have superiors such as the Hospital CEOs, HR, etc... Therefore their Salaries are very accurate.
Dentists are EMPLOYERS---business owners. 95%+. Much like Chiro and many lawyers. There is no way the gov. or any service to estimate our incomes, only the ADA (for dentists) which collects surveys from the 95%, business owning dentists can give you an idea. Which is ~$178,000 for GPs and nearly double+ for specialists. This is why you don't see the incomes of BUSINESS OWNERS such as McDonalds, gas stations, hair salons, car dealerships, etc... on salary.com or any gov. sites.
