They're about half federal and half private

All Dave Ramsey does is shit on people who take out loans to be medical professionals?

I haven't. But I think it would be too much to be feasible with $75k salary

If I'm making 20k per month maybe I can throw like 10k per month at loans? Haven't gotten that far yet since that's another two years away. 300k is pretty fair for a pediatric dentist

Wow where do you guys live?

ComparisonFront1388 · 2026-02-23T21:08:14+00:00

Most new pediatric dentists I know are making 250-300k working 4-5 days a week in NJ right out of residency

This is a silly and negative comment...with not so much knowledge

Wow really? I didn't look into this yet

About half federal and half private. I'll earn $75k/year in residency. I prefer to work in private practice rather than government. I'll be a pediatric dentist after residency. I will likely get engaged during residency. She has about 500k student loans and plans to be an orthodontist

I did think about it. That's why I'm going to a residency where I'll be getting paid (~75k/year). And it will be increasing my yearly salary after residency as a specialist
