Which career is better: Dentistry or Health Administration?

I would say dentistry personally. From what I've seen dentists make more, work less, and have solid benefits most places if not everywhere they go. The dentists I know love their jobs.

Lots of back problems though because they're hunched over the patient's mouth all the time.

It depends on your interest. But dentists generates very good income from doing their craft. Especially those who are involved in aesthetic procedures. Really good income.

Healthcare is a better route for most. Dentistry is being taken over by PE firms pushing dentists toward volume and no longer allowing equity ownership. On top of student loans ballooning past 500k. A CRN or nurse anesthetist makes or AA anesthesia assistant make more than a dentist, have an insane amount of pto 9 weeks in lots of cases and little student loans.

Started at a new firm a recently. I’m a little anxious about my growth opportunities. I’ve been working and billing like crazy, but the firm essentially charges insurance rates - but also are really conservative about billing and cut my hours a lot. It seems they’re really happy with my work. They’ve brought up the issue of my time and said I should be able to capture my time as long as I break the entries up more. But I think they’re still cutting it. I’m worried I won’t justify my pay goals..

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm.

FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.
