Should I be a Dentist or RN?

Question

I'm in my second year of community college, and trying to decide what I want to be/major in. I definitely want to end up with a stable, good-paying job. So...dentists eventually get paid well (I think) but it's probably more of a high-stress job than nursing. Anybody been in this situation before?

Answer 1

I am a pre-dental.  Go to www.studentdoctor.net

click on Communities, click on Dentistry.  You're welcome.

Answer 2

Going for dentistry will take you eight full years of college, an RN will take four years at the most.  Nurses are in very high demand, and it's a good job with long-term employment stability.  You would need to borrow a lot of money to be a dentist, so you shouldn't consider just the salary potential.
