Do you not do many of them? Also- I never pondered the idea of who makes more, don't assume. : p For all you morons out there that think dentist make tons of money get a load of this. This evening I had my septic tank cleaned. It took the guy about 30 minutes and the bill was $200. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 236162I did not tell him what I did for a living but he said he had been working about 8 years and saved about $170,000. He said he was going to work another 8 years and could retire with social security and about $400,000 in savings. I asked him what he was making and he said about $85,000. That was my take home as a dentist with 25 years experience last year. WTF is going on? The next asshole that comes in a wants me to pull a tooth for $100, I am going to refer him to the septic tank guy. |

A single canal root canal takes at least 2 appts and at least 4 hours including anesthesia. My fee is $320. It must have been a molar and it is impossible to do 3 canals in an hour. Either he did a pulpotomy (partial) root canal and is not finished, you live in California. |

Nobody gives respect and admiration to the Roto-Rooter Guy. Who would want to take their Septic Tank Cleaning father to Career Day at school? There isn't a lot of bragging about being a shithole janitor. I won't begrudge anyone getting paid well to do the job that I wouldn't do no matter how much you paid me. |

What's it cost to install a set of porcelain veneers 20K? and how many hours work is involved in that? How is his job any less valuable than yours? Can you empty your own septic? Apparently not. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 241623 United States 05/24/2007 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Although, I will admit there's probably 70-100 sewer cleaners in our county and we all do well. Plenty of chit to go around. The sewer machine they carry into your basement weighs about 325 pounds and your pushing in and pulling out 100' of cable (also not light), it beats you up and you do get covered in chit. Sewer gas is lethal. Your chit is our bread and butter ;) |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 241623 United States 05/25/2007 12:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh, and did someone say vacation? What's that? We're 24/7 service. Would you come to my house and pull my tooth at 3:00 a.m.? Imagine your basement flooding with chit and they tell you, take a pill and call me in the morning. Sorry, but my husband works his butt off and deserves what he makes. We can't go anywhere without that pager going off. There's no 9-5 around here. He had an infection before from sewer splatter. His whole face was swollen. It is dangerous. |
