on average, how much do they pay? I am graduating next year, and don't want to ask my parents for money anymore. Is it enough to have a decent living? (meaning, will I have to live on fastfood?)
It will be a tight budget, depending on how you manage your money. Also, the cost of living depending on which state you choose, and the salary will also vary. Remember that when you graduate from dental school, you will have a whole summer that you cannot take out loans since you've already graduated. Plus, you will need money to move, rent an apt (first and last months rent plus security deposit). Then on top of that you will not get paid from your residency program probably until 3 weeks in. I thinking getting started on a gpr salary is tough. I had to borrow money from my parents in the beginning, but i was able to manage everything after that. Start saving now..
