What type of dentist?

I think that I'll encourage my children to be dentists, instead of physicians. Who knew?!?

I wanted my son Hermey to be an elf, but he pursued a career in dentistry instead. Misfit toy, that one.

Yes except you have to look at people's DISGUSTING teeth all day. That is just revolting to me. Otherwise, agreed it's a great racket.

I think so too. Why do they have so much time to spend on DCUM in the middle of the day and make the money they say the do? I'd fire their asses if they worked for me.

Why? Because I am trapped between my high income and the mind-numbing boredom of my job as an equity partner at BigLaw.

Which firm? I hope you don't represent my company. I'm in-house and would love to know what firm you are with just in case you are one of the Big law firms we retain..

Don't the hygienists do most of the "dirty work," so to speak? The dentist basically works on the teeth after they've been cleaned. That mostly consists of doing fillings and crowns and checking x-rays. Plus, it's basically a 9-5/40 hour work week. For that money, it sounds like a pretty good gig to me.

2 tech-related workers (not traditional IT jobs), both with STEM PhDs here. Our HHI is 500-600K depending on bonuses etc (we're both 38).

My salary has tripled since leaving my Fed job less than 3 years ago. But I loved that job.

So we have learned that lawyers and doctors cannot read well. Hmmm

OP - we are on the lower end of you question but we are in sales and litigation support (not lawyer!)

280k Both feds with engineering degrees (masters and PhD). Probably could get more working in private sector but the hours are stable and we have young kids.
