Why is a dental hygiene course so short compared to other difficult careers when it is such a high demand job?

I am very interested in becoming a dental hygienist, but from what I heard it’s a high demand-competitive position. At the end is it worth all of the sleepless nights? I will still fight for my dream of becoming a dental hygienist some day.

What would I do to become a dental hygienist or an ultrasound technician? (multiple questions in the description)

I am having trouble deciding whether I want to be a dental hygienist or an ultrasound technician. Either way, I am unsure of what I am meant to do to become either or. I was doing some research and they said I could just go to community college as you only need 2 years (associate degree) to become a dental hygienist (not sure about ultrasound technician) Is that true? Could I still go to a regular college instead and do 4 years to get my bachelor's? How many years would these professions take? What should I know before going into these fields? What college major would they fall into?

Starting the new semester I've decided to major in Dental Assisting and hopefully achieve my Certificate/Associate. What are some possible study habits I can maintain to help me be successful in the DA program?

I've been on the Dental Hygeine Waiting List for almost two years now, and I've decided to go back to school for Dental Assisting to get my foot in the Dental Field. With working a part-time job in those two years of waiting I am nervous going back to school and I currently struggle with procrastination, so what are study habits I can build along the way?

What classes should I take in high school if I want to become a lawyer, dental hygienist, or ultrasound technician?

I am going to be an 11th grader this upcoming school year and I was wondering what classes I should take if I wanted to become a lawyer, dental hygienist, or ultrasound technician. I am unsure which profession I would like to go into but these are definitely my top choices. I wanted to know which classes I could take in high school to enhance my learning in these lines of work. This upcoming school year my electives will be AP psychology and business law & management. I'll have 4 elective classes for my senior year and I can change my upcoming ones if needed. Lastly, I wanted to say thank you for taking time out of your day to read this and to help me out, it is much appreciated.

Is it possible to work night shift full time and complete dental hygiene school?

Hello everyone I majored in business administration and I am too far along to switch and will complete it just so I don’t feel like I wasted my life more than I already have. I have come to realize that I enjoy knowing my work can have a positive impact on others lives and looking to complete a second degree in dental hygiene. My same university offers this program and will take me approximately 3 years to complete I will be 24-25 when I finish. I would like to know if it possible to work night time positions such as a hotel night auditor/ grocery stocker positions in order to fund my degree as I will no longer have financial aid. My university also does not provide any afternoon or night time school options. Please give my any advice or share any stories about others who have worked while in dental hygiene school and it is possible or should I just give up and accept my circumstances.
