Which career to pursue? Lawyer or orthodontist?

Okay, I've done career cruising and lawyer was one of my top picks. However there are too many lawyers and the hours are harsh. Plus I heard the pay isn't that good anymore. An orthodontist makes a lot of money too, and I'm interested in straightening teeth. I do not like anything that involves math or chemistry though. 1.Which one do you think I should pursue? 2.Is it worth going to school for an extra 3 years to go from a dentist to an orthodontist? 3.Does dentistry involve math/chemistry? 4.Any stories of relatives/friends with these careers are welcome.

1. Choosing a career can be a veritable trial, and you want to be sure that you take the right choice because your career can influence so many facets of your life. A pal of mine over the past few weeks had a change of career and he stumbled upon loads of guidance from the site in the box below prior to making his choice.
2. You have to have a science and a math class. You will have to know about different medications and the amount to use since you will on occasion use a needle. But the health care field is the way to go!!!
3. being an orthodontist is better in pay and working hours. however, it is more difficult to become an orthodontist than a lawyer because u need better marks and more studies with fierce competition with other students to get into that program dentistry involves chemistry and biology, and little math.
