I am looking for advice and would love your input.
I am really worried about taking on debt for dental school. Even though I know that the earning potential of a dentist makes it worthwhile, I have a slightly unique situation because I want to live overseas. I know that I will not make as much as a dentist practicing in the US does. In the country that I want to live in dentists earn an average $75k/year.
Here are my options:
1. My state school which will cost ~$150k for four years.
OR
2. A dental school in the country that I want to eventually live in. Tuition is ~$2000/year for six years.
What are some of the things I should take into account?
I know that I wouldn't be able to practice in the US with a foreign degree but that doesn't really bother me. Is two extra years of school worth the money?
