Are there any medical or dental schools that offer scholarships to students?
Are there any current doctors that can give me an insight about the lifestyles that each of these professions has? Will I be drowning in student loan debt in any of them?
I know money isn't everything, but I want to be able to live comfortably without having to worry about money, which is something that I didn't have growing up. Also, one of the main reasons that I am considering dentistry is that I don’t want to be working 60+ hours a week and always being on call. I would ideally like to have a family and be able to spend time with them.
If I were to do general dentistry, or any type for that matter, I would like to open my own practice because I like the idea of being my own boss. However, after reading up on this, I heard that it may take at least ten years after practicing to even consider opening one, any thoughts?
Thanks for any responses in advance!
