Right, after much consideration, I think I'm going to become a dentist. "Why a dentist?", I hear you ask. Well...

If I do well in my Biology and Chemistry GCSEs this summer, then I will defintely be taking both at A-Level (amongst other things). If I succeed in my A-Levels then I will go to University and study Dentistry (Can someone confirm that you can get a degree in Dentistry for me?).

If and when that course is completed, I've had what I plan to be the best 3 years of my life and I'm £21,000 in debt, I will, most likely, go to the US to work.

This is because in America, there is no NHS or equivalent service, meaning all healthcare is private, which for me is wonderful. Especially as most of 'em are extremely vain and will offer me somewhere in the region of $14,000 for a good job.*

I have heard and worked out (roughly) that I could earn somewhere in the region of £200,000 - £300-000 per annum working simple 9-5 hours 5 days a week.

Future officially planned.

Same. I love how they think we don't realise that the answers to 90% of questions, no matter what the subject matter is, are exactly the same.

Yeah, I chose Media Studies on the same reason.

It's easy, it isn't even a minute challenge to me.

The teacher thinks all the 'terms' and 'theories' are hard to grasp and always patronises us about it.

T'is simple.

A dentist? I've always people that want to become them have a deep seated desire to inflict pain and suffering on paying people.

But them I'm phobic of them because my one was corrupt when I was a kid. I had teeth taken out needlessly.

-=-=-=-

When I was young and just a bad little kid,
My momma noticed funny things I did.
Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun.
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done,
I'd find a 9ussy-cat and bash in it's head.

That's when my momma said...
(What did she say?)
She said my boy I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay...

You'll be a dentist.
You have a talent for causing things pain!

Son, be a dentist.
People will pay you to be inhumane!

You're temperment's wrong for the priesthood,
And teaching would suit you still less.
Son, be a dentist.
You'll be a success.

"Here he is folks, the leader of the plaque."
"Watch him suck up that gas. Oh My God!"
"He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good."
"Who wants their teeth done by the Marqui DeSade?"

"Oh, that hurts! Wait! I'm not numb!"
"Eh, Shut Up! Open Wide! Here I Come!"

I am your dentist.
And I enjoy the career that I picked.

I'm your dentist.
And I get off on the pain I inflict!

I thrill when I drill a bicuspid.
It's swell, though then tell me I'm mal-adjusted.

And though it may cause my patients distress.
Somewhere...Somewhere in heaven above me...
I know...I know that my momma's proud of me.
"Oh, Momma..."

'Cause I'm a dentist...
And a success!

"Say ahh..."
"Say AHhhh..."
"Say AAARRRHHHH!!!"
"Now Spit!"

Hmm..orthodontics. Yes, you can get a Medical degree. You just specialize.

I think that's an under-estimation, love.

Good call. They could use a few good men. :D

Not all healthcare is privatized in the U.S. There is still the Medicaid program for those less fortunate folk, whom are disabled or sheer SOL..like single mothers. Yea, they don't leave 'em all high and dry.

Honestly, you'll earn more working in a Federal position. Like, thrice as much, intern starting pay. Uncle Sam pays out for the educated. You'll just have to shell it back at tax time. Most Dentist's don't have their own practice, they join a firm or corporation (you're covered by the corp's insurance, opposed to personal liability)...and get paid through submitting claims through HMO's or privatized insurances.

To say the least.

And if all else fails...you can always go into sales. Heh.

I'm sure with all your initiative, you'll do just fine. Go team!

[Edit] Wait. I don't know if I'd want to have dental work done by someone who refers to himself as "Highly Excitable!" Oh Lordeh..

Hi, people, I'm back after being away for so long... To tell the truth, I don't think anyone till the day they die have any idea about what they want to do for a career.

No I believe the idea is to go on the dole and everytime they assign you a job be incompetent at it.

Met someone doing that in the summer, the little scallywag.

Also the higher paid jobs tend to mean more work and more stress.

Did you actually think your post through?

Edit: Unless you mean go for the best jobs because you'll never get them and stay unemployed...

If so I see where you're coming from, you little scallywag.
