Who would make more money? A Dental Hygienist or a Massage Therapist?

I need help deciding my future!! My goal is to have a job that makes me a lot of money fast! I already work full time and I'm 22 years old. Should I work 8-5, Monday thru Friday and do a massage therapy program from 5:45-10:15, Monday thru Thursday? The program is only 8 months long and I can start it right away. OOOOR should I work 8-5 and take two night classes during the week for 2 years so I finish up all my prerequisites for dental hygiene school?? Hard classes, I'm talking about chem and microbiology and I don't even know if I'd get accepted!! I have lots of competition but I know I can do it =) OOOORRR dun dun dun... should I take 2 morning classes, work 9-5, and do the massage therapy program for 8 months?? Do you think I should do both or is that too much?? Thanks for your opinion! =)

I wanted my daughter to go to become a dental hygienist, she wanted to do massage therapy. We have a friend who is a DH and she makes tons of money and works part-time!! However, you are right, the school is very tough to get accepted to. You sound driven and highly motivated. Maybe you could continue with your DH studies and apply. If you get accepted great; if not, keep trying and in the meantime take MT classes. People keep talking about a five year plan, I just made you a five year plan!! Whatever you do, be sure to enjoy yourself and you WILL be successful.
Reply:Dental Hygenist.
Reply:They make comparable money. But the massage therapist works freelance, and its a luxury thing. You need to market yourself and build a regular client list, that pays. You are your own boss.





A DH works in a dental office. I think they make about $25-$30 an hour. That rate is from about 10 years ago. It may be higher now. But they typically work just 1-2 days a week per office, so they have to have three places to work for a good total salary.





Very different jobs. They are two different adventures.
