Got sick of dentistry (studied in UK and US) and then set up practice in UK. Changed profession going back to do a Masters in Real Estate Investment & Finance and now have a good career (better pay and less stress plus more interesting work) in private equity real estate. Point is the skills and dedication you put yourself though dental skill can be transitioned to other careers.
I'm a dentist from India. I am thinking of pursuing masters in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from Glasgow University. I just want to know if this is in any way beneficial or not? Basically will this two years course will be a step closer to being a specialist?
Would Brexit affect an EEA graduate being able to practice in the UK? Would your chances of getting a job in the UK be lower if you were to get a degree from a country in the EEA?
J Mo they’re both hard in different ways but I would say A levels was harder because studying 3/4 different subjects at once is a lot, with dentistry everything is linked and relevant so makes it a bit easier to study for exams etc
Not special. Any top University to study say Maths, Economics, Finance, Law etc will need AAA at Oxbridge, LSE, York, Warwick, etc. I think this old idea that dentistry is good career and only option stems in many ethnic minorities. However, far higher paying and better careers taking maths, economics, etc in the city within investment management, investment banking, fund management, venture capital etc. Or more so in tech for a FANG company. Thing is many older generation families do not know about these careers.
IMO thats an ill-informed comment. Yes you may earn more working in the city or in investment banking, but just because you have a maths or economics degree doesn't mean you will actually get one of those highly competitive jobs. Whereas if you study dentistry or medicine, you 9/10 easily get a job (Entry to the profession is restricted, so the graduates to jobs ratio is much better and it is a regulated profession where you have to be licensed to practice) , training and a standardised progression so that you have a secure career path. Basically if you study maths or economics you might get into the city investment banks etc (you probably won't) you also don't have the security, because you can be fired at any time. Dentists will always be needed, and it is a regulated profession; you can;t enter without the qualifications and licensing. So it is a much more secure career path.
Dentists usually work 40 hours a week. Investment bankers on average work 100 hours a week. You take your pick pal. It’s not all about the money, working ludicrous hours and watching the cash build up being unable to use it for your own leisure.
@@InfoMadeEasy incorrect, some analysts (graduates) within investment banking may work 100 hour weeks before a big deal / pitch. I would say it’s usually 60 hour weeks but it’s not always full on, e.g day will consist of gym sessions, lunches ect..

100%. Otherwise I'd imagine it will be unfair for those who graduate outside of the EEA.
@@ianwoodman2513 No it will not. EEA membership, is NOT dependent on being in the EU u dumbass.
theDentlyf, how would you compare Dental school to A levels?
Is it harder or easier?
J Mo they’re both hard in different ways but I would say A levels was harder because studying 3/4 different subjects at once is a lot, with dentistry everything is linked and relevant so makes it a bit easier to study for exams etc
@@drkomalchopra Thanks for your reply!

Woah, I thought when he said 100hrs it was an exaggeration 😬 if you have to work that amount at any point that is wayy too much
