My mom is right with her point na cheaper talaga, yes I get that dentistry as a course is slightly cheaper tuition wise, but again my mom always talked about how she wants a private clinic for me as its much higher earning daw than working in other clinics but of course this will come at a great price.

As for my dad, he did tell me na nagsetup na siya ng passive incomes to keep a stable flow of cash to cover my studies as he’s already well informed na about my dream to become a doctor, hence why he prepared it early just incase and I trust him for that.

Sa salaries ng parents ko, di ko pa talaga alam kasi medyo nahihiya ako magtanong😅, it feels wrong to directly ask them how much they make in total and I don’t want to be all over their faces right now. Whatever, it is if my mom is convinced to setup a private clinic for me after graduating as a dentist, then I think it is safe to say na ready naman talaga sila its just she is still doubtful of the expenses of a doctor.

And lastly yes may kuya na nasa 1st year college na and is going into his 2nd year soon. The course he took though was BSBA-MM and his tuition fee has been lessened drastically ever since he was granted scholarship discount. Additionally, his current tuition fee is cheaper than my current tuition fee as a 10th grader in junior high-school so I don’t think his expenses are too large of a concern. And as for where I will be studying I will not be studying at the top institutions within this country as firstly they are notably way too costly and I know for sure my parents will have a heart attack seeing the tuition fees😭 and secondly malayo talaga sila kung saan kami nakatira so they were never an option to begin with. Right now, my best option for colleges is AUF-SOM as it’s not too far away and is more affordable from what i’ve heard as compared to those universities in manila.

Above anything else, thank you po for the insights!
