For what it is worth, my Dad (still living) was a dentist for over 50 years and my five brothers all went to dental school, with four who are living still practicing in the same metro area in another state.   Surprisingly to be a top notch dentist, you need to have the dexterity and skill which all seemed to have inherited.  They were all fortunate to have had undergrad and dental school paid for and pretty much walked into practices already operating.  All have done well with one very, very well.  Even without debt the key to dentistry is being able to operate the office, hire competent staff etc., which I understand they do not really spend much time on in dental school.  I suspect this is also true in medical school.

From what I have observed if girls can get through medical school, it can be a very rewarding career at least in pediatric or family medicine on a part-time basis while a family is young and then go back more full-time.  While the residency years are rough and trying to start a family during that time crazy, there just does not seem to be the crazy pressure once hired by a  practice that young professional women feel at the law firm or even in certain college fields such as engineering where it seems to be pressure all the time to publish and bring in money.  And sorry to say, I just do not see law or engineering nearly as important as medicine in every day life.
