hi! if you wanna go back to your country..then dont even think of DDS/DMD and have those heavy loans!! go ahead with the bench....practice for a few years..make some money, take home the experience and at the same time try finishing some kind of masters (like public health etc) by distance education as any degree from the US has great "value and respect" outside US.
OR
after obtaining your licence, try getting into a 1 year AEGD or GPR and work part time, taht way you are learning something advanced as well as making your living by part time dentistry.
all the best and let us know your decision.

If u r going back after some time then studying DDS for 2 yrs is not worth it.
Important thing is it will take almost atleast 5 yrs to pay back the loan amount.
So totally worthless.
Go for bench exam & start practicing soon 🙂
