First off, I have to say dont go to Wall Street. Its crowded with rude people and I heard can be very loud. Go to Broadway instead. Ballerinas have much better job security and are more likeable. But other than these ideas, I can tell you I did do the same debate that you are doing: dental school vs AA. Both have advantages, but I think AA cant be beat. Where I have been shadowing, the AAs make 150,000, have 6 weeks paid vacation, and no call. The job is exciting and the people are great. Also, you may change and decide you dont mind getting to work early so you can get off mid day and do whatever with your afternoon. Also, part time AAs at this hospital make 60+. Not to bad for part time.
