I want to be an orthodontist but I also want a second job can anyone tell me what would be a good second job?

Question

For my second job I want to be something like a pharmacists or a optometrists but I think you have to work as an orthodontist like all day and I would not be able to have time to be a pharmacist or an eye doctor so please help

Answer 1

what would you need a second job for? Orthodontists are generally busy and well-paid. If you were to get a second job, i would suggest something that relates to one of your favorite hobbies. this way the job can be a sort of release/break from the ortho work... I suggest that you dream up what you would want this job to be and enter it into this contest that i found: http://tinyurl.com/65tyxh  if you win, you will win the job for a day and could see what it would be like to have 2 jobs.

good luck in whatever you do!

Answer 2

Stay focused and follow ONE passion. If you try to do it all you won't be good any any of it.

Answer 3

if you are a good orthodontist, then you will not only have time for a second job, you will not need one financially.

Answer 4

Chetna,

To be an Orthodontist requires 4 years of college, 4 years of dental school and an orthodontic residency.   To be a Pharmacist requires 4 years in a Pharm D. program after college and to be an optometrist requires 4 years of optometry school after college.  You would need to spend most of the next 12-15 years or so in school after which the student debt would require a second job.
