a steady source of income that provides you with more money than any job will ever pay. You need to own a practice with a large enough patient base to generate an income sufficient to provide you with a reasonable income and the money needed to retire that debt (for the education loan and the loan for buying a practice). The irony is that being in debt requires you to go further in debt to invest in the one thing that will provide you with the income to ultimately get out of debt, and that is you need to invest in buying a practice. All of our recent graduate clients have educational debt. Once they understand that they cannot afford not to buy a practice, they are able to borrow the money needed for a practice acquisition. Some of them are smart enough to realize there are no dental jobs that are going to pay them enough money to live on and pay off the debt. These up and coming professionals are smart enough to invest in themselves once again, by purchasing a practice that will provide them with the income needed to get out of debt. They are not afraid of investing in themselves. They know they can do the work, they just need the patient base to work on, and the income will follow. The problem with the education is not the cost, but the misinformation provided to students relating to the business of dentistry. It goes without saying that recent graduates cannot afford not to buy a practice!
