Dentist. Plain and simple.
I think about this all the time. I've finally made it to a company where I am very happy at and that I can lead a very successful career and retire from, but I still would do it differently if I could turn back the hands of time.
I'm 34, an FO at a top fractional, have a ton of school loans STILL, ton of credit card debt (that I had to live off of so I wouldn't starve those first 5-6 years out of college), drive a piece of crap car, have very little savings, and dream of the day 15 years from now when I'm debt-free!!!!!!
A high school buddy of mine is a dentist. Has his own practice that is growing at a fantastic pace. He works 32 hours each week, has a ton of free time, has plenty of hobbies, drives a new Land Rover, has a nice house, a boat, and lives a GREAT LIFE! Makes about $250,000 now, more as practice grows...........
Is there really a choice here?
