I don't think many pre-dental kids understand the reality of debt, and what it means in the long run.
A 250k loan turns into 350k by the time you pay it off, then you wanna buy a practice? MORE DEBT. Wanna start a family and live in a nice neighborhood? Good luck.
For those of you in the know, tell me if I got this right.
The Military pays for my Dental school, AND gives me a monthly stipend for living expenses while in school. Then, upon graduation, I work my debt off by serving 4 years, and during those 4 years I'll recieve a decent salary & housing allowance, and since i'm in the military, i'll have health insurance covered. Once the military get's whats owed to them, i'm free to go...
If all of that is true... then, wow. I guess since I've grown up in a very pro-military household, the whole thing sounds like a steal to me.
