Hey, all he has to look forward to is 4 years of college for the B.S. or B.A., then 4 years of dental school for the D.M.D. or D.D.S.(same thing just a turf war between which d-school confers the degree)and then depending on the type of OMFS residency either 4 more years if it's just an OMFS certificate program (less common nowadays especially in the Northeast) or the more common 6 year OMFS residency where he'd get an M.D. in addition to the OMFS certificate.
Then after all that schooling/training he'd spend his days doing what most OMFS's do, taking out teeth
On the flip side, a few years into practice he should be taking YOU on ski trips anyplace you want to go with that OMFS $$ he'll most likely be making
