You could have a prestigious profession and still be poor by living above your means. On the same token you could have a career that is not looked at in societies eyes as great, but live below your means and be comfortable. Nobody truly knows anybodies financial situation.

Doctor? Lol, seriously?
Take that sh!t off the list. Doctors are herded around by business administrators on a by-task basis, regardless of how long it takes them to do everything - or how many hours a week they need to work.
Not prestigious. At all.
Maybe so in a country that values healthcare. But not this one.

Not here in Australia, buddy.
Pharmacy here in Australia is now largely corporatized. The large chemist companies are ruling the market, driving up competition against the smaller business pharmacies. The end result? Low pay for graduate pharmacists and a bleak outlook compared to what it used to be like.
I know of graduate pharmacists getting $24/hour. Just lmfao. Brb, slaving away hard at university over hardcore medicinal chemistry and pharmacology.... and getting fukking nowhere.
I have 7 pharmacists in my doctor of dental medicine degree, who quit pharmacy due to the chit condition of it in Australia at the moment. Their average annual salary coming out of uni was a piss-poor $48k/year.
No where near the stratosphere of what a graduate dentist here earns.

You have no idea how much politics and insurance waste the lives of doctors every day. And push them to the brink of burnout and changing careers.
Whatever bro, that's the mentality everyone goes into medical school with - but somehow end up in the career with the highest suicide rate, for which by last poll - >60% were burnt out and ready to change their profession.
You really have no freakin clue do you? Sure, it sounds awesome on paper - but you have no idea of the hoops and hurdles that take priority to simply 'practice medicine' or 'save lives'as you like to put it.

Yes, I actually do have a decent idea of the politics etc behind the area of medicine. I have family and friends in the profession lol.
Re: suicide rate.... that's largely true for many careers that have a high degree of stress and intense work. That's life.
Yes, I do have a "freakin clue", retard.
I have WORKED WITH cardiologists, surgeons, sleep physicians, occupational health physicians, general practitioners, and even haematologists.
Their pay > virtually every other career except say... specialist in dentistry/investment banker/successful businessman. And I have a pretty fukking good idea of just how hard it is to get into medical school, and the "hurdles" that exist to students before they graduate, and even start applying for specialty fellowships... after working several years >70 hours/week at hospital.
I LIVE WITH MEDICAL STUDENTS.
I also have an ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON in my dental school cohort. He wants to be a maxillo-facial surgeon now (requiring BOTH a medical AND dental degree here in Australia... plus the Max-Fac fellowship after).
Next.

Adults are also a bit wary of them, but view it as a respected profession that requires a high degree of education, expertise, manual dexterity and emotional intelligence (empathy etc).
Yes, to associate question.

Also, do you know what the average pay of a solicitor is in Australia? $80,000.Dentistry pays well but there is more to prestige than pay. Most people don't typically associate dentistry with prestige. I mean cool, you make good money, but at the end of the day you're scraping around in peoples dirty mouths lol.
What dentistry lacks in the power component to prestige. A dentist will never command the respect of a high charged corporate executive calling shots and breaking hearts, running a multimillion (or billion) dollar business. Nor will it have the sophistication associated with being a partner at a top law firm. Hell even a generic GP would be more prestigious, being a medical doctor still carries that WOW factor even though the majority of them are glorified script writers.
Dentistry carries more of that dorky stigma akin to accountants/engineers/IT guys

Lmfao.
Dental surgeons who own their own practice are handling a multi-million dollar business. You are quite ignorant here.
A family friend who is 32 years old is the CEO of 5 dental practices in my home state and pulls in a bit over $500k/year.
One of my endodontic lecturers is a millionaire, who patented a new technology in the field of endodontics. Her salary is over $500k/year.

Dentists in general earn much, much more than lawyer counterparts.
As for your "dorky stigma" comment, that's largely a matter of opinion, and not a generally held belief.
The only part of your post I agree with is dentists vs doctors. That said - we tend to live a much better work/life balance than they do

Brb, working just 40 hours a week full-time compared to doctors slaving away in hospital working >70 hrs a week regularly
Brb, more time for my own family
Brb, more time for my own leisure
Brb, easier to get holidays
Brb, quicker $$$

Where's IT?
My mother lamented that I didn't finish med school and instead chose to go into a less prestigious career, until I told her how much I make, now it's not a problem.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Seems to me the word prestigious was confused with 'honorable / respected " etc. like farming, teaching, police, firefighting, nurse are not at all 'prestigious' yet very 'honorable / respected' yet they seemed to score very well.. Congressmen, Actor, Athlete seem much more 'prestigious' than how they scored.
