Dentisty Field Questions?
What is family life like being a dentist and do you spend a lot of time with them? I want to start a family and I don't want to be like a doctor where I am gone ALL the time........ I just want to be able to come home to the kids at least for maybe 1-2 hours.......
Also someone was telling me dentist were going broke across the country in the US because there are so many of them that there is now too much of them! Is this ture??????
Answers:
I think the blend between dentistry and family can be ideal. You are certainly not "gone all the time" due to practice hours. Most dentists work (more or less) 9-to-5 for 4 or 5 days a week. Some work a late night once a week. Even if you work for someone, you can accept or decline night hours - or look for a more flexible employer if you can't.
You will not go broke if you don't overspend. Dentistry can provide a lot of money at an early age. Banks will lend you money on your signature. WATCH YOUR SPENDING! It is so easy to get in over your head in debt and this would be the only reason for a dentist to go broke.
I say, become a dentist and either "go where the money is," like the rapidly growing cities in the US, or live where you want to live and just accept that you could probably make more money, but you are probably making more than 95% of the people in the town where you choose to live.
