30 years ago I was trying to decide between becoming a nurse or a hygienist. I chose hygienist because it meant I didn't have to work 12 hour shifts, nights and on the most part weekends. It was a career that I could work part-time (and still make a decent salary) while my children were young. I haven't regretted my choice at all! :)

It depends where you live on the salary you'd be earning in any of those professions.

All very good choices, we can always use more nurces and dental hygienist on this board.
