Tyler_JC wrote:You have to ask yourself the following questions though:
How much debt will I pile up to go to dental school?
Do I have any savings that I could use to pay for my education?
Do I have other financial obligations that will have to be put off while going to school (children, spouse, mortgage, etc.)
Do I really want to be a dentist?
If I didn't know about Peak Oil, would I want to be a dentist?
I don't need the answers to all of those questions to give out my free advice. But if you think that you can manage the cost of school and it is something that actually interests you...I see no reason not to pursue it.

LOL, J-Rod, but doesn't smoking cause dry sockets? Mj might be good for the pain, but the act of sucking the blunt or cigarette (or whatever you smoke) might bring about the dry sockets.
My condolences, Spiderman - been there myself about 8 years ago - same with the local and laughing gas. All four wisdoms never grew past slightly peeking through the gumline, and I decided they needed to come out. The percocet made me barf something fierce, though. Just make sure the clots form on those holes. Don't gargle too hard with the warm salt water. Good luck.
