OralG Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Are there any forms of income that are available to dental students during their 4 years? Other than a job outside the realm of school, are they any ways to earn income to help with expenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B A T M A N Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 So outside of a job, will someone pay you to do nothing while at school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OralG Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Sorry your interpretation is so narrow batman. Others surely understand that maybe there are jobs within dental school , ex lab techs, dental school representatives, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OralG Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Are there any current dental student that can speak on this topic? Ones that understand what "earn" means A friend of mine writes articles for a optometry forum, I thought that was pretty neat. So many things you don't know are available until you're actually in.

GH0ST Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm not in dental school per say but I've always found that tutoring has been a nice way to supplement your income. I personally am really passionate about education though so it doesn't even feel like a burden. 5-10 hrs a week with some flexibility in various subjects / time can be not bad. Good luck, - G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BScDMD Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Some dental schools have summer research you can do and get paid. It's not much, but it's something. Beyond that, there really isn't much you can do during the academic year given that you stay pretty busy. Outside of school I had a couple of classmates who worked Friday and Saturday nights (non-dental work) for a couple of months during first year - but I think it became overwhelming so they don't do it anymore.

Linny_Shar Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Summer research program is a great way for you to earn some extra income during the summer. During the school year, the workload can be intense. Plus sometimes we have to stay in lab at night and weekends are usually for studying or recuperating from school. Your student line of credit should cover most of your expenses (grocery, rent, miscellaneous expenses), given that you don't buy a car on it. In addition, OSAP can give you quite a bit of money as well as long as you have been out of high school for 4+ years, you don't own a house or a car and your spouse doesn't have any assets/income (they will still give you loans, but it won't be as much) .You can also apply for grants and scholarship within the university that are more specific to dentistry. All in all, your loans and grants should be able to cover most of your expenses. I guess you can try to find a job but keep in mind your workload in dental school will be a lot heavier than in undergrad. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
