That's amazing to have that opinion. I got a Science degree and passed the dental hygiene entry exam, but l had to give up since the program was all in person 5 days a week and that would Stop me from working and got bills to pay . That's the problem with all these medical programs, since you don't make a lot 70-80 a year, they also want to keep you in depth so you don't work for the two years you are in school, then you end up still doing loans. I paid off my signs degree while I was in school because I was able to work and I have no student loans. I'm now planning on getting a bachelor's degree in business since I have my own company , but l really wanted dental hygiene because it is fun.

@@sarahx_louiise Hi! I'm more into taking things slow schoolwise, but if I did want to get a head start during high school, then taking AP classes for General Ed would have helped me out. I also could have looked into dual enrollment with my local community college, or started my courses in the summer session after graduation, rather than waiting for the fall semester. Personally, I would have found these things overwhelming academically, but if you feel up for it, I think this would be a good place to start. Also, if your high school has counselors, asking them for some tips would be a good idea too. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hey! First of all, thank you for making these videos, they're so helpful to people like me :) So I am a junior studying to get my Psychology Degree in a 4-year university. (this was bcs I love psychology). I was thinking about getting an associate's in dental hygiene after I graduate but my college advisor said I shouldn't bcs it's not right to go for an associate's degree after getting your bachelor's ("it is a step down" she said, mind you, she was a dental hygienist for 15 years before becoming an advisor). Since you did the same thing can you please share with me what was going on in your mind while making that decision? and was it worth it? literally, anything that helped you make this decision of becoming a hygienist? would you advise me to do the same or not?
