[QUOTE="Chad Gardner, post: 321688, member: 20677"] Seriously, the kid started doing it in college. His dad was a lab tech so he knew teeth and he got accepted to dental school after getting his MBA and BS in computer science with a minor in microbiology. Now he says he’d be crazy to go to d-school. He plans to hire a team of “nerds” as more of us dumbass DDSs blow our money on these toys and he outgrows his clients demands. He currently only designs for DDSs on eastern & central time. That leaves the high tech, high population of the west coast wide open! He said in Asia & Europe they all use designers from China & Vietnam to do the same thing, but in the US we don’t trust a foreigner to have open access to their computer system. (His parents are from Beijing originally). He’s paid through PayPal, so I’d bet he’s avoiding a lot of taxes but IDK. Said he gets up 6Am Central time, exercises and eats, then usually has 2-3 cases already from East Coast guys. He can design a FMR in an hour, and does this until 4-5pm all while working on other stuff. Carries his laptop with him so if a case is emailed, he can get to WiFi and design it real quick. He designs a bunch of dentures for another guy that has a Medicaid denture mill and said he can do them in 20 minutes. The download and upload takes him longer than the design he says especially now with so many at home on the Internet. I’ll bet anything he nets more than me and my wife combined (she’s my CDT). And he has other side gigs...smart kid. Think he’ll be rich one day. I tried getting really good at design during the shutdown but at 43 y/o, I just don’t have the computer skills or the ability/drive to learn it. It took me 14 hours over 3d to digitally waxup a case, I sent it to him and in an hour his looked better...my daughter wants veneers. [/QUOTE]
