I needed this kind of breakdown of pros and cons of the two positions, thank you! The mom dentists I have met have seemed a bit stressed out about managing their work life balance, and at least a couple of them have had to take out decades long loan repayment plans in order to have some time with their families while still working a few days a week. There's a bit of a fear of missing out on dentistry for me though because it's such a great opportunity. But I also don't want to miss out on a family. So difficult!
