Answers:
If you want to go into a profession that makes money then go for it! I'm so sure, the people who say rude things to you because "it's not something that you are interested in" are just!.!.!.rude lol!. Obviously you have to be somewhat interested in it because there are a ton of other things that would make more money than an orthodontist or an oral surgeon!. It's your life!. In my opinion, I think you should become an orthodontist first and do that for 2-5 years and then look for someone hiring an oral surgeon because they would be more likely to hire you with some dental experience!. Oh, and btw, I do think $170,000 is a lot! The career that I want to get into makes 80,000 at most!. Take care! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

in my country, before specialising to become an orthodontist or an oral surgeon, one has to get a degree in dentistry!. upon graduation, then they work for some years before going back to the university to study a postgraduate degree of specialist!.


during your undergrad years you probably sort out which specialisation suits you better!.

the intake for dental professional is very little, hence a fierce competition!. only the best were enrolled!.

you know, sometimes you don't always get what you want in life!. i think you may want to consider a second or third choice!.

no offence, dentistry is a healthcare professional, it's helping people!. thinking all about the finantial rewards is tad too superficial of you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

lol what a question!. Ortho and surgery are as different as a cactus and a tulip!. I think interest should guide you instead of cash!.

having said that, your data is wrong, it all depends on where your practise, how u practise, and so many other factors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well depending on where you live the government is going to take a nice chunk of change out of that!.

however, 170 is definitely more money than most couples make together!. I would say that is alot of money then!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

170, 000 is plenty!. That is a very good salary!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

what ever makes you happy- both salaries are great!Www@Answer-Health@Com
