I was just wondering how old everyone will be when they graduate. If you plan on a speciality, give the speciality you want to enter and the age you'll be after completion.

I'll be 31 at graduation. I'd like to do oral surgery, which will put me at 35 at time of completion.
 
If a person chooses to specialize, does a school pay you for the time period that you are learning the specialty (Like a small stipend or salary or whatever the terminology is)? Or do you still have to pay additional tuition to study for 2-6 more years for the specialty?

And if you have to pay additional tuition per year that you train for specialty, it must be lower than the DDS/DMD tuition right?
