My future job

I'm a 18 year old boy, studying dentistry at the University of Chile. As you can guess I want to be a great dentist in the future. But the idea that I have about being a great dentist is not the conventional one, I mean, wanting to earn a lot of money and stuff like that. When I talk about being a great dentist I'm talking about being an honest, friendly and caring person with everyone, all kinds of patients. I want to be a dentist that people can trust.

I want to travel working to different places. For example, I really would like to go to rural places to know what actually dentistry is. I'm pretty sure that working on a clinic is not what dentistry is. In my opinion, the "truth" behind the chilean dental situation is not on the rich's mouths.

I think that working on rural places and wanting to be a friendly and honest person, probably will be very difficult. But I'm accepting the challenge.

As most of the people know, dentists don't have so many money problems, so I don't think that I will have problems traveling or buying the necessary materials. Also, I will probably have some money saved for this time.

If you are a dentist or a dentistry student, you should question why  you are working or studying this. People need us, and we need people, remember that.
