I'll b graduating from dental school next yr what is the employment 4 women like n Italy and Spain?

I've often admired both places and my becoming a dentist I often hope to visit and perhaps live in a different country. Spain and Italy are both dear to me and I really want to get an idea of the employment market for female dentist. That way I can make one of them my place of residence.

Look I am Italian and a medical student.





You really don't want to move to Italy! Italy is VERY different from how it is romanticized in movies and such, especially when it comes to the business side of it.





Once you are a dentist, can you wait for 10 days to get phone line and electricity hooked up? Can you waste time personally going to the postal office every time something goes wrong? Can you afford not to work for 3-4 days every time something breaks in your practice? Can you afford working from 8-9 in the morning to 8 pm because the staff and the culture *demands* you to take a 3 hr break for lunch? Can you put up with patients constantly asking you for a discount, not showing up on time, not wanting to pay for your expertise?





If you can do all of this, then Italy offers lots of employment, and it doesn't really matter what gender you are, although there are folks who prefer to go to male doctors "just because".
Reply:Employment is the same for men and women, but you would absolutely have to speak Spanish and pass their medical exams of course. There's no dearth in the market for dental careers...now if you were a nurse or OB/Gyn specialist...
Reply:Well, there should be the same opportunities and careers there are for men in Spain and Italy.. this isn't 1950's.
