Same thing can be extended to Physicians, Pharmacists, and Lawyers. Everyone is a hater. Just gotta keep doing what ya doing
Quit crying (and caring) about what people who make less, work more, and know less think about dentistry, which for my money is one of the best careers out there.
Remember, you're doing this for yourself. It's your career, it's okay to be selfish.

search "doctors are" on google btw...maybe you'll feel better 😉
That did make me feel better. BTW, I'm not crying about anything. I just posted that for fun. My classmates and I got a kick out of it, so I just thought I'd share.
Dentistry is a great profession.
"lawyers are doctors" made me laugh because of the context of this discussion (even though it's true)

Don't worry about it. Google any career and almost all of them have bad adjectives for them. Why so many haters?

Try typing in Lawyers are
Make sure when you see the "Lawyers are like" phrase you type in that one too and look at the results.
Doctors does the same thing in google.
Make sure you also try "Obama is"
Also try Mccain is

Haters. I'm tired of people busting on dentist or predent students. I heard this too many times. I'm tired of people of other major asking me and telling me: how can you work in people's teeth, why would you choose this career, It's so boring, this is a horrible career, ettccc... all i can think about when i hear this from people is: wow you got some b... going into a career w/ a low job market and here busting on me for going into dental. All i say to these people is: "it's alrite. I like it." that's all you got to say to these haters...
Dental is a great career.

I actually expected that list to be worse than it was. Pretty much the only flak (if you can call it that) I get is people asking me if or telling me that they don't want me to commit suicide. It's like everyone has some preconceived notion that if you go into the dental field you either retire or commit suicide, and that the latter is more likely than the former.

You'll get better at explaining to them a career in dentistry and the realistic stressors associated with it. By the end of the conversation they wish they went to dental school. Pull up the old study for yourself also.
But in the mean time: Target the surgeons with the new blanket statement of suicide prone.

I usually just laugh and tell them I don't plan on it. I'm not worried about it because I have looked at the facts and I know that I want to go into dentistry even though I may be under alot of stress, especially in dental school.
In response to your link:
I think most health professions have a higher suicide rate than average just for the fact that some people go into the profession thinking they can make it rich. When they get down the road and the money isn't rolling in like they'd hoped they're stuck doing something they hate and see no other way out. It's sad to see people chasing after the money but to some people thats all that matters.
