<prompt> Human: The caveat is that the 4 year school is Dental School and the 2 year school is Physical Therapy Assistant School.Am soon going to finish my biology degree next semester. I need to make decisions quickly.Median Dentist Salary: 100,000Median PTA Salary: 50,000Lets assume I play my cards right financially when I finally get an income. Which school is the better choice financially?Also, if it isnt too much to ask, at what tuition total cost will dental school be worth it for me?Edit: Please take into consideration the taxes, interest rates being 8, and malpractice insurance 700 monthly.When I did calculations based on living in NY, I found that I would take home more income as a PTA for the first 34 years making income. At that point, wouldnt investing into a mutual fund or something like that be much more beneficial as I could rack up millions over the course of 30 or so years?  <response>: These are two very different career paths. This isnt a financial question. Its a life question.
