The story of a second year dental student.

Tuesdays

I just returned home from my book club meeting. The last assignment was Tuesdays with Morrie. I read the book a few years ago, but I think the words meant more to me this time. I think one of the fundamental issues for me, and maybe our generation, is the idea that money isn't success. Success is much more than a number, but boy is it hard to believe that sometimes.

Right now, I am entirely focused on a career. Dentistry is my life. But when will it just be a job, and therefore not consume me. Will that ever happen? Or will I just get wrapped up in the lifestyle?

Or maybe the opposite will be true, and I will care so more about helping people, and raising my 'potential children', that I won't make much money.

Some days I wish for the former, other days the latter.
