With tuition prices continuing to rise, I was wonder at what point most pre-dents would say no to dental school/entering the profession.
Just curious.

250k post interest was my limit, which you didn't give as an option
300k is rather low based on pre-interest costs these days. I’d love to know how much of this average is skewed downwards by people whose parents paid everything for them.The average dental student graduates with around 300k in debt, for me I think the absolute limit for ROI is 400k debt.
Is it still possible for associates to make $200-300k/yr? I think in another thread here on SDN people are saying that most associates can't make more than $180k in decent medium-size cities.If you think you're going to be an average dentist, maybe 250-300k. If you plan to work extremely hard and do what it takes to succeed, 900k-1MM (if you love dentistry that much). The big question is do you have what it takes to succeed in this profession? Only you (the one taking out the loan) can answer. If you are investing that much into yourself, you better have a good plan and the right attitude to make money. Otherwise, if you're just going through the motions, associating, and making 200-300k/year, then your theoretical maximum will be lower.
