At interviews, when asked the question: "Why do you want to be a dentist?" What do you say? If I'm asked this year I will say "Well at this point because I need to pay off all my student loans!!!" Just kidding. I wanted to see what others will say this year.

You have revealed all the obvious answers. I know everybody has different reasons so what are they??
 
Intellectually stimulating and rewarding career. Blah blah helping others.

Any answer will do as long as you have one. Even if its a cliche response, just spit it out and act like ya mean it.
 
 
The interviewers sort of have to ask this cliche questions, that's just the way it is. They know that most interviewees will reply with some blah blah blah trite answer. usually goes like this:

Interviewer: So why do you want to be a dentist?
Student: I want to be a dentist because of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

But, if you becomes too creative, then they will notice you and put a black mark. For example:
Interviewer: So why do you want to be a dentist?
Student: I want to be a dentist because of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah SEX blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah SHOW ME THE MONEY, BOO YEAH. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah SELF PRESCRIBED MARIJUANA blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah .

That wouldn't be very good.

For a creative list of things to say in interviewers, see the following thread
