I'm trying to become a dentist in a few years.  I could make a lot of money as an oral surgeon especially.
That sounds exciting! Are you going to school to prepare for your new career?
Yeah I gotta find a good school to learbn everything about diagnosis and prevention and stuff.
How many years of schooling are required to be licensed as a dentist or surgeon?
4 years is typical.  That's better than what dentists used to be!  They used to be barbers who did it on the side!
