Dentist or dermatologist? Please help!
So I’ve always been set on becoming a dermatologist but recently I’ve been looking more and more into dentistry. It was suggested to me out of the blue by a teacher who thought I might prefer the shorter training time😂 but now I don’t know what to do. To specialise fully as a consultant dermatologist is 12 years which doesn’t phase me too much other than the complication of possibly wanting kids whilst I’m training whereas dental training is a total of 6 years. As someone who is definitely very family oriented do you think dentistry would be better for me?

Different jobs. Why were you drawn to dermatology?
I’ve always been really interested in skincare, skin diseases like eczema and particularly skin cancer kind of random Ik but it’s always been something that intrigued me

In that case I would stick with plan A.
