Student Loan Planner The Breadwinner Loophole with pediatric dentist, Dr. Quinn Yost
Dr. Quinn Yost graduated from dental school with around $510,000 in student loan debt. From a young age, Dr. Yost knew he wanted to live in California during some point in his life.
He received the best scholarship that his private school offered and that only took care of half the tuition. Going through clinicals and actually working with the children changed his mind. Now a recent grad, he works for practice four days a week and is close enough that he can ride his bike to work.
