Sucks, man, but that’s how it goes.” “Work hard. You gotta be willing to give up and sacrifice stuff. That’s what it comes down to.” “Practice ownership by far and away is the best, in my opinion. You reap the rewards. It depends on what you’re cut out for, personally.” “You need to hone in on your routine… literally your daily and weekly routines. Prioritize your daily to-do list.” “I lifeguarded every Sunday morning during dental school… free gym membership, $12 an hour, and I could study at the pool. That discipline showed up in every single oral surgery interview.” “Don’t hop, skip, and jump into surgery on the TMJ.

Do I stay general? ... is it worth it to specialize? Like at this point in like, as a D2 right now, it's like, is it worth it just because, I feel like people are referring less.
