Popular Post ChrisL Posted July 12, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 12, 2019 After my daughter got her undergrad in Kinesiology she was a little lost on what to do next. While at the family dentist shortly after graduation he asked her what her plans were, uh.... He asked her if she ever considered dental hygiene and let her shadow with some of their hygienists. She was hooked but had to go back to a JC to complete some prerequisites and then got accepted into one of the better programs in the state. Over 500 candidates apply each year, 30 are selected for a JC program!?!! Who knew. Well 2 years later she finished with honors, received several awards, passed her state boards and just today got her license... Our dentist said he would hire her if he had an opening and tried to hire her but her license took too long to process and he had to fill the position. So she can officially start applying and there is high demand for hygienists, especially from her program so she should find a gig soon. Want to know the going rate for hygienists in SoCal? $50 an hour! Her hubby is a tax accountant who just got his CPA so they are off to a good start. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted July 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2019 That's pretty good. I don't see why she didn't pursue a career in kinesiologing, though. I imagine they make good money. I think once you get a BA, you can just hang a shingle and get to work kinesing out there in Ca. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually one of those degree’s that needs considerable continuing education to work in. PT requires an additional 4 years and many of the programs are impacted... That turned her off so she applied for a chiropractic college but changed her mind before starting. She was working as a PT aid while getting her prereqs done but you can’t live off that pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted July 12, 2019 Share #6 Posted July 12, 2019 Tell her to interview carefully. Wo2 went to Dental Assistant school (+/-1 yr) and said the only folks looking for new help were the dentists who were terrible to work for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving things with your mind and getting paid for it would be awesome. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually didn’t do anything when she graduated this program as we had a grad party when she got her undergrad. I also told her I’d wring her neck if she sent out grad announcements as then my siblings would send her a bunch of cash, again... No party, just dinner.
