This. I think most of us have some level of hard work instilled in us so that's not an issue. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten into dental school. Problem is being flexible lol.
Most of the answers said to me from others when I ask them these questions:
Would you join the military and payback only 4 years of your life in exchange for zero loans? nahhh... I ain't moving overseas or have the military send me on a ship, etc..
Would you join the NHSC and work in rural areas for only 4 years of your life in exchange for zero loans? nahhh I ain't living in ****ty rural areas...
It's amazing that you were able to net $500K minimum in your FIRST YEAR but I honestly don't know of anyone who did that in my class. Maybe if you have parents that own a PP for you to walk straight into? I still doubt they would be banking $500K though..
I think you are both an amazing clinician and businessman
I really like seeing positive views like yours and
@charlestweed and also hate seeing the doom and gloom about dentistry on this website b/c it's simply not true for everyone.
