Dental hygiene is a bad career for anyone right now. Their are way too many dental hygiene programs graduating way too many dental hygienists and the market is flooded. Most of the work available is part-time with no benefits. This might be acceptable to a married woman with children who does not want to work outside the home much. But as a man, if you plan on supporting a wife and kids this is NOT the job to do that. Plus, you probably will face some sexism in this field. Dentists like hiring the pretty FEMALE dental hygienists fresh out of school.
By the way, I am that pretty female dental hygienist (three years) fresh out of school. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS FIELD!!
