What makes a man decide to be a dentist?

[Kroz]

All this money and for fixing teeth?! OMG! That's mad. I think dentists are way overpaid.

 

[Mo0o]

Easier schooling, good money, less hours than medicine, why not? If you're into healthcare purely for the money dentistry is the way to go

I heard that the highest suicide rates among all professions are dentists.

 

[ponyo]

If I could go back to school, I would study to become a dentist. Hours are sweet as is the pay.

I've actually heard that too. Dentists are nuts, but they also make great money.

My orthodontist has over a dozen girls working for him, all of them qualifying at various stages of "cute", "hot", and "heartstopping."

His office photo consists of him standing in the middle surrounded by them all ... a not-so-subtle middle finger to everyone who mocked him in grade school, I'd wager.

no offense, but why are dentists paid so much? It doesn't seem like dental school is particularly hard or being a dentist uses special skills/creativity that only a small fraction of the population has?

You're on crack. Being a dentist is an extremely demanding profession. Medicine, science, and art combined. And good dental work is probably the foundation of good health. Bad teeth always means bad health, as the infection spreads throughout the whole body. Modern denistry IMO is just as responsible for increasing life expectancy averages as is modern medicine.

:thumbsup:

but couldn't it be argued that people who do not take care of their teeth are likely to neglect other areas of health? I doubt spreading infection from the mouth is a major cause of health problems.
