Medicine or Dentistry?

<p>Hi, I am trying to make a choice between pursuing a career in medicine or dentistry. If I were to go into medicine, I want to be an anesthesiologist that specializes in cardiothoracic. If I were to go into dentistry, I would become a maxillofacial surgeon who specializes in facial reconstruction, or cosmetics. Or I would become an orthodontist. Please put some posts to help me decide. I am really confused about which one I would be better off in. Thank you!</p>

<p>The one you like the most.

<p>Go with the one you are most likely to succeed at with the least debt</p>

<p>Are you even in college yet? Concentrate on getting through the first 2 years of college chem, bio, organic with excellent grades. Pre-health tracks are basically the same for med/dent. Way too early to be fantasizing about specialization.</p>

<p>Thanks! I will think about that. Also to “dentmom4” I am just one of those people who plan their lives before it happens, it is just a little habit of mine. I like to know what I am going to do, because it gives me a goal and pushes me to work hard.</p>
