Being a doctor or a dentist isn't necessarily what it used to be. Most of my money ends up in someone elses pocket, like the IRS and very little of what I work hard for goes to me.
Right now, things are changing around for me. I ahve only been in practice for a little less than 4 years now so I am stiill behind the curve but it is changing. I have one car -- my pride and joy, 87 RX-7 GXL. I live in an apartment, not a huge home like some may seem. I have a huge amount of expenses and overhead that most people just can't fathom. My bonus is that by owning my own building and the land it sits on, I have my retirement pretty much set. I do plan on retiring young enough to enjoy the fruits of my labor and have no plans of it going to any kids since I have none and have no plans for any.
And I don't take anything wrong that folks may say about me being rich. I don't mind being envied. It is a good feeling to be able to get what you want, when you want it and not have to make plans to afford it.

Why is it that (it seems like) almost all dental hygenists are young, good-looking females? I have yet to see one male hygenist.

When i was little (highschool) all they kept on saying wouldn't it be so nice to be a doctor? all they would see is the high paycheck.
Not the fact you expose yourself to disease and death as a profession. And to see other suffer.
i wish i did more buisness courses in highschool so i could've went into a business degree in university. I was stuck with all science course because i was envisioned to take premed and become a doctor. So now i'm stuck with engineering.

I'm a mortgage broker. It's a little boring as far as a career goes, (I used to be a information security consult and CTO) but it's keeping me very busy these day with interest rates where they are. I still find time for Nopistons.com though!
I also get $300 a week for playing arena football and $50 a week for playing minor league football. Getting too old to keep playing though...
