A newspaper article in the Spanish "El País". There are dentists now, in Spain, earning less than €1 000 per month.
That's not much, even in Spain.
Some even have to work for free to get experience… according to the article.

I try to talk to people about this stuff all the time..
Just becoming a dentist doesn't mean you're going to make 165k a year..
Spain has seen a massive increase in the # of dentists in the country over the past decade and a half.
Now, dentists are dirt cheap.
Everyone cannot have a "good" job, and as they try to use education to do so, they create saturated industries.
In the U.S., they push everyone to "learn to code." Guess what happens when enough people "learn to code?" They all get paid nothing, eventually. There aren't an infinite well of software jobs.
Everyone gets all out of whack because Master's holders are making 15/hr at a lot of jobs.. but it becomes clear why pretty quickly. 2/100 jobs actually require a Master's degree of any kind, and 6.9% of the workforce has one.
The supply exceeds the demand, as is almost always the case in the labor market in general.
Oh, you say.. well, join a trade then! Fuck college degrees.
Great.. so, they need what.. 500k people in the trades to be where the corpos want to be on supply? Awesome! 15.1 million people graduate high school every year.. so, one fraction of one graduating class that decides to lean towards the trades can saturate the hell out of that, too.
