So I matched into a residency program
So for the last year, I've been doing a fellowship in craniofacial genetics, with an emphasis in cleft lip and palate.
I applied for orthodontics 3 months ago and just got the good news today. I matched with my #1 program! I hope to do a cleft lip and palate emphasis during the residency. Just wanted to share the news. MT orthodontic hook ups after the 27 month residency! I'm in the hole over $470k, including dental school! |
So you can pull out my 4 wisdom teeth for cheap and give me good drugs?
|
Wow, I'm pissed that I owe 20k for graduate school! So, do residents make bank? |
How do you even get cosigned into that much student debt? Do you have ilke 10 different cosigners?
|
I'm assuming lenders know we can pay it back, so they don't have a problem lending. I don't have any co-signers.

470k?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wowwwwwwwwwwwww Makes my school debt look silly lol. You're going to make bank though, and as long as you enjoy what you do you're set. I have a friend in the middle of his dental hygenist program, and I honestly can't deal with teeth. Wanted to become a dentist, but quickly changed majors after seeing some crazy shit. |
Dude if you were to make people's teeth as white as your car, you would have bought 2 Ferraris by now.
|
470k isn't bad. My brother in law owes 750k, he's an oral surgeon.
|
They talk about a lack of students going into the medical field. I wonder why...
|
You also have to consider opportunity cost and compounding. Who wants to be broke as shit and not be able to begin investing until 30 to 35.. |

That still neglects the future value of total loan payments and investments. Not saying they don't earn a great living, but that overshadows the true cost involved. Some people choose to drive Miatas. There are many people I work with that have Corvettes, Porches, Mercedes, BMWs, and theres even an NSX in the parking lot. I personally don't want a loan larger than the one I already have for my 2010 Mustang and I wouldn't want to waste cash with 0% financing. |
