Should I be a dentist or a doctor in algeria ?
I just got my highschool diploma (BAC) with 18 and I had the chance to choose between dentistry and medicine.. I however chose the latter and may think that its a mistake considering how cluttered and saturated the market is (our promo is 210+ people and this is just an annex) and i see alot of medical doctors that are unemployed or simply miserable even after specialization which really brings me down cause you would imagine studying for 12 years would be rewarding at least eventually. While dentistry is 6 years and you will be able to be financially independent way before a medical doctor would ever be.
So now im doubting my self if i should switch to dentistry because i think it has a much less saturated market and also more targeted customer base (from elders to youngsters) and lets you own your equipment when you open your own cabinet unlike medicine where the equipments are so expensive it becomes impossible to get your self..
I really need help to make up my mind and for your information my father is a doctor a pediatrician to be exact and I have a dentist sister and I can already see my freshly graduated dentist sister doing good.
Maybe you can share your experience with me about the topic id be very grateful.
