account or dentist?

<p>So here's my dilemma: I'm a freshman CAP student (which means I will be transferring to UT Austin next year) at UTSA and I don't know what I want to do for a career. However, one outlook is to do the BBA+MPA 5 year program at UT Austin if I can get into McComb's business school. The second option I have is to pursue a degree in oral science or something like that.</p>

<p>1) Why I want to study accounting is because my Dad owns his own taxing firm which seems to do well. Accountants work generally 4 months out of the year and have a great salary. Would going for the BBA+MPA and taking the CPA be my best option for this path? An option I have for the future is to someday take over his business.</p>

<p>2) Dentists have flexible hours, don't work on the weekends, and makes loads of money. I would want to open my own business and privately practice someday if I chose this path. Here are my questions: Is dental school a grad school? If so, what should I major in when applying to the dental school?</p>

<p>Which path would you choose?</p>

<p>Do you have any interest in business or dentistry besides the money that you could potentially earn?</p>

<p>I know it all depends on what your interested in, and I’m somewhat interested in both.</p>
