Which profession Dentist or Paramedic

Hello I'm a freshman in college in Oregon. I am going to school to be a dentist. I have an okay GPA (3.6) , good study habits and am dedicated to doing a good job. I got a job last summer at a dental clinic as a 2nd assistant (mostly because I had an ***-kicking resume). I have assisted on many different surgeries (mostly extractions and exams), and learned many different skills that would apply to dental school. The problem is that I'm not completely sure I would be satisfied being a dentist. I am aware of earnings and requirements for each. $125,000 or $35,000(if I'm lucky), 8 years or 2, etc. I am worried I will grow tired of the repetion of being a dentist, being hated by most people, and not having a life for 4 years of intense dental school. I know the turnover rate for both is relativly high but I have previous experience as a lifeguard and I think it would be a much more exciting job to be a paramedic. Yet, it doesn't sound bad to make 6 figures and only work 3 days a week.

I'm a paramedic, and while it has it's moments, when it comes down to it, working on the ambulance can get just as repetitive as any other job. After a year or two, you've pretty much seen everything, and most calls become fairly routine. There's still some fun and interesting stuff, but it's not nearly as often as you might think. Of course, I work for a fairly small service. If you worked in a bigger city, you'd probably find a bit more interesting.
