Thanks for your response. I already auditioned for all the Broadway theatres as a ballerina, but they told me my core wasn't strong enough and that they didn't have slippers big enough to fit my feet.
The one major advantage of being a dentist is that you get to own a business. I don't know about where you live, but in my mildly populated (maybe 360k?) Georgia city, the majority of the dentists take home at least 200k, and, of course, specialists earn more.
As an AA, you will always be an employee for someone else. That dampens the situation just a bit. What happens if more and more AAs/CRNAs graduate over the next 10 years, and the major markets become saturated with providers? Salaries will go down and jobs will become scarcer than they are now. And, I haven't even encroached upon a potential socialized healthcare system...
I think medical school is probably out of the picture, because, what happens if I don't match into an anesthesiology residency and I'm stuck in primary care? Then I'll be wishing I had just gone to AA school!
