How should I decide if I want to be a dentist or an ultrasound technician/sonographer?
I am a junior in high school and I'm having a hard time choosing what I want to become. My top choices are definitely a dentist or an ultrasound tech. However, I'm conflicted about which one to choose. Going the dentist route I'd be in school for longer, around 8 years while ultrasound tech would only take about 4. However, I wouldn't mind being in school for long (I hope). They both had good salaries too. Hence, why I am conflicted. PLEASEEE help me decide because I feel like I should make a choice soon so I know where I want to go to college.
