Yeah I can understand the argument for going to school with high def because the potential is there to make money but I personally don’t buy into it.
What I don’t understand are the people on here encouraging someone to pursue their dreams when there is a pension on the table with 6 figure income... to switch into dentistry. I guess do it if you “love it.”
I have 2 close family friends of my wife and I, we both went to undergrad in Boston together, they both pursued education and work in the Boston Public School system, all four of us are 45, the husband and I were speaking and he told me at 55 both of them will retire with a full pension, that will pay out about 145K for the both of them, full health insurance for life, and the kicker is they have invested wisely as well in IRA, so not top of their pension they have a 7 figure retirement account as well. So withdrawing 145k is like having a little under 4 million with a 4% WD per year. But HEY!! I get to be called DOCTOR, LOL..
