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.

What type of ultrasound technician makes the most money?

I heard that neurosonography brings in the most but then I learned that that isn't a formal job anymore because it became a subset to another role.

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?

When becoming a sonographer do i need to find a CAAHEP program before college ?

i am very confused on what to do first when looking at the steps to become a sonographer. Because i want to attend a university but online i see most people going to a community college. And does it matter. I would also like to know about the caahep program because the college i want to attend doesnt have a specific ultrasound class or anything and is that gonna effect me in the future

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.
