I'm 21 and I'm a dental assistant. Its not so bad depends on where you work and who you work around. Originally started my continuing edu. At the university of memphis but I got pregnant and I'm a spoiled brat so I went to dental assistant school to have a job where I could take care of baby AND me instead of just taking care of him and me having nothing. Starting back at u of m in the spring original major was social work but changing to nursing. Sorry so long, I talk too much
