Hi guys
I really really need your help……I am going to take my DAT and MCAT this summer. I am a senior in college.
I want to do either dentistry or podiatry. I was looking online for both profession's salary and it seems like that podiatrist make more money than dentistry. Is that true? It's kinda hard for me to comprehend that how can I podiatrist make so much money if they cant touch anything above the ankle!!! I really need your help in making this decision. Could you also give me the pros and cons for both profession please? I like 'em both.

Here is the source:

Those salary websites are absolutely crap I'm pretty sure. Do what you would love doing, the money will follow. The more excited you are about going to work every morning, the more you will put into it while you are there, and the more you'll get out of it ($$) in the end.

It really is that simple.

PS. Have fun telling the medical and/or dental admissions committees why you decided to take both tests, and convincing them you really are 'sure' you want to be a podiatrist/dentist

Some schools have secondary applications in which they ask about previous attempted tests. The question might also come up during an interview.

Even if they do ask just explain your concerns to them. I applied to med and dental schools this year and I got that question at the interviews. Don't pick your career based on money though.
