How long is the course to become a dental hygienist? ...and is the pay worth it?

Question

I am 50 years old...and it has taken this long to figure out what I would like to do?...please dont judge me...i could not afford to put myself through school and i did not want to take out a loan...but clean teeth fascinate me and i guess i would love to deal in cleaning teeth.

Answer 1

You can get a degree and get employment normally within 6 months.  The pay is not great but it is steady and reliable.
