And of course, that's AFTER you have your four year college degree to get you into your four year dental school.
So are you ACTUALLY recommending someone make a $500k to $1:25 MILLION dollar investment that they will then not use? And just how much "spare time" do you think people have in a dental curriculum? Or that they can afford to devote to getting their hours after "the sheepskin" in the face of combined college and dental school debt?

My post never suggested, "Stay away from the Airlines". Many of us have established businesses whilst on the path of achieving our ultimate goals. The thought of furlough is not the only concern, based on the history of the airline industry. The thought of one day the AME says "You don't meet the standards for a First Class Medical."
