I am having the hardest time deciding between dental and podiatry...
Did anyone else have a similar situation?
I have shadowed both and would enjoy either career.
I am already 24 so I am just so ready to get onto the next step in my life as far as education/career goes.
Pros Pod:
Into school next Fall as opposed to Fall 2017 with dental.
SURGERY!
Larger scope of practice
Good money, not great, but good.
Cheaper school, with possibility of scholarships.
Cons Pod:
Longer/harder/more stressful school
Would not be out of residency until I was 31 (29 for dental)
Less potential income as opposed to dentistry
I guess you could say lifestyle means more to me as opposed to having a prestigious career. I want to be able to spend time with my family and be able to take vacations and enjoy my kids and wife.
Stats: 3.7 oGPA, 3.6sGPA.
Thanks everybody!
