Any DDS/DMD students that have regrets about studying dentistry?

  • is the profession what you thought it would be like when you finished?
  • are you struggling to find work in the city where you practice?
  • any regrets whatsoever (i.e. do you wish you went to med school instead)?
  • are there things about dentistry you wish you knew before you entered dental school?
Also, if you feel the complete opposite, or if you are a med school student please share your post-professional school experiences.

i ask as a curious pre-dental student 😳

thank you.
 
I wish I had know that it would be really hard on my back. Would have kept exercising then.🙁
And not eaten to deal with stress, then gained all the weight 😡
