Here is the best strategy.If not, please share your strategies to tackle your debt...
I don't think I can be rich by pursuing dentistry.If youre going into dentistry to become rich then yeah it probably is better to look into other careers.
honestly i don’t think there’s a solid plan to tackle that high of a loan, don’t forget to add the interest.I don't think I can be rich by pursuing dentistry. Going into 600-700k in debt will wreck your finance unless you have a solid plan.
I don't think there is really any hope once you've taken that much out. Add an average interest rate of 6% annually and you're basically never going to get anywhere financially. It really doesn't make any sense if you truly take out the full COA in loans. You are honestly better off doing almost anything else. One year out of a GPR in NYC you make 140k. Take away taxes, and loan payments, and what are you left with? You're basically at the financial level of a fast food worker.I don't think I can be rich by pursuing dentistry.

Exactly. I can't believe NYU and USC have no problem filling their seats every yearYou're basically at the financial level of a fast food worker.
a dental hygienist and dentist have different scopes of practice. but agreed dental hygiene would be a great backupIf you truly love dentistry, why don't you become a dental hygienist instead? you will be better off financially...
700k debt is no joke
Posts like this really show how out touch a lot of dental and med students are with the American middle and lower classOne year out of a GPR in NYC you make 140k. Take away taxes, and loan payments, and what are you left with? You're basically at the financial level of a fast food worker.
Theres literally no situation in which a dentist has the QoL of a minimum wage worker unless you owe millions to a loan shark in the Russian mafia. Even with private dschool debt, I would wager almost every dental grad will live comfortably and far better than the average American. If you want an S class and second home by 30, then yea I agree an expensive dental school isn't worth it.140k is not 140k when you have 700k in debt. you can barely pay off the interest accruing
