    Dentists only get paid 60,000-80,000? That sounds really low.

    edit: Yeah....

    I'm not trying to sound snobby or stuck up, but I thought for sure dentists made even more than what 44 posted.

    Since the figure is an average of all American dentists, I'm sure there's some dentists included that really don't make much at all. There's got to be plenty of dentists out there in very rural areas that are lucky to see 10 patients a week and therefore bring the average down.

    Try and earn even more than 130,000 a year. Which is around what I earn right now

    Might have another kid, no more than two though.

    I've for a while, like most of you here, wanted to become a sports writer. Recently I've researched the career more thoroughly and decided to switch my focus on a career in business. This is my forth year taking accounting, and over the summer I'll be making more money than the normal 17-year old.

    I'm setting my goal high, I'm hoping to go to a top business school in two years. Hopefully I can still do some writing on the side, maybe part-time or something like that. For some reason, I just fear getting rejected into every college I apply to [​IMG]

    Hopefully I'll be working for a small company or have opened my own company and be successful. A long term relationship would be nice, too. Mostly I just hope I've found something that makes me happy.

    Pre-Med is the way for me! A typical south asian parents dream to see their son be a doctor.

    Hopefully be a doctor someday, dont know what kind yet.


    <div class="quote_poster">Karma Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">You don't EVER want to get married, or just not until you've satisfied every personal goal?

    My deal with my parents is I told them that there's no way I'm getting married until I'm out of University and satisfied with where I am in life. And no way in hell am I doing one of those "go back to the home country and get bombarded with marriage offers" deals either. My friend's brother just went back recently and he got like atleast 10 proposals a day or something (could be an exxaggeration, I'm not sure the exact number but he got a lot). As soon as they hear "Canada", they automatically assume we must be living the high life, with the finest foods and maids and butlers.</div>

    True, when they hear "America" or "Canada," they think we're loaded with cash and rich and shiz.
