Economics or dentistry?I'm a Y12 student at the moment and I need to decide what I want to do at University!! I've done quite a lot of work experience at a dentists BUT I'm really really good at Economics, however my Maths is slightly weaker (Just about got an A in Core 1 at AS Level). Anyone have any way to help me to decide? Thanks!

Hey dude, I am a qualified dentist. Read my long post "A warning to all those who dream of being dentists"....
Please stick to economics...dentistry is NOT a good thing to go into right now. -

economics could mean working long hours whilst if in the future if you happen to own your own dental practice then you could arrange/ decide your own working hours.
dentistry though can be monotonous however, lots of fillings for eg - doing the same work day in day out / however, it depends on your staff, if you have fun team who's company you enjoy them i guess dentistry would be more enjoyable.
dentistry involves a lot of chem and bio so if you like that stuff then at uni it would probs be good
dentistry is more practical that many jobs so if u like using your hands it would perhaps be more enjoyable
YOU COULD ALWAYS DO DENTISTRY HOWEVER IF YOU LOVE ECONOMICS IT COULD BE A HOBBY OF YOURS.
OVER WORK EXPERIENCE I SHADOWED A DENTIST IS NOW TRYING TO BECOME A POLITICIAN - RUNNING TO BECOME THE LOCAL MP. ???? idk
