Dental Assistant

Salary: $35,000

Education:

They must take academic programs at community colleges and then get certified in order to become a Dental Assistant.

Demand or Need for this Profession:

The demand of dental assistants will increase by 18% by the year of 2024

Reflection: I would not like to become a dental assistant since they don’t really make a lot of money. They make way less than the dentist and they do as much as what the dentist does. If this job payed more I would’ve liked it. It’s an okay job but it isn’t something I would enjoy.
