Dream Job of Mine

HIII!!! Wow, I am excited for this post because the topic is what I have waited since long long ago... yes, it's about my dream job!! Okay, let's just start it now.

Hmm, talking about dream job, I have always dreamed about being a doctor since I was a kid. I used to had no idea what kind of doctor I would like to be, but by time I finally have decided that I want to be a dentist. To tell you the truth, many people asked me, "Why a dentist?" "Why should dentistry?" "Why not medical school and planning to be a doctor instead of dentist?" OK, to those who was ever asked me one of (or maybe all) the questions above, I will answer all of it now.

My reasons are actually simple. First of all, in my opinion, to be a doctor, someone will take a long period of time for the study only. And in this era, I don't think becoming a doctor with a bachelor's degree is a good idea because nowadays specialist doctors seem to be more needed by the patients. I didn't say that the general doctors isn't needed, but if you also assume being a doctor as your livelihood, then I think being a specialist doctor is better and it definitely will take longer time for you to finish your medical study. Meanwhile, if you want to be a dentist, then you just have to go to dentistry and it may take shorter period of time to finish the study, or may be vise versa if you're too lazy. The point is, no matter how long it would take, if you only finish the bachelor degree, you can be a dentist and make it as your livelihood without taking any specialist study, because unlike medical school, basically dental school has aimed or specialized its major since the beginning. However, if you want to continue your dental study, then it would be beneficial because you might earn more... hehe

Second, as a soon-to-be woman, I obviously think about my future life. If I already have my own family, I want to have a job without disregarding my responsibility of taking care of my family. So, I think being a dentist is one of the most suitable job for women because you can manage your time between the practice schedule and taking care of family well.

I'm pretty sure that some of you who read this might disagree with my opinions above. Well, I don't mind it, of course... but I just want you to know that this writing isn't purely my opinions. On the contrary, I have asked some dentist I knew; my mother's friend, my aunt's friend, my dentist who takes care of my teeth, my neighbor who is also a dentist, and other dentists I have met. So, I can say that those opinions are pretty legit ;)

Oh, and just to emphasize... if some of you also think that I assume being a dentist as a livelihood only, nah, then you're totally wrong, because my main reason for dreaming to be a doctor or dentist is because I want to help people to have better health levels. And if it is possible, I even want to help unwealthy people with health problems (especially mouth and dental problems) by giving them free treatment in the future... However, someone must think about his/her livelihood and consider about the earnings too, am I right? ✌

So, yeah, that's my dream job and the supporting reasons as well! What about yours? :)
