What they fail to mention in this video is that in the Williamsport/ Wilkes-Barre-Scranton/ Harrisburg area there are very few jobs for dental hygiene. I know because I've been trying to get one for 2+ years. After you graduate Penn College doesn't do anything to help you find a job. They got their cash from you and moved onto the next one. There's also 3 schools in the area that teach Dental Hygiene. Which means close to 100 new hygienists are looking for jobs every year. Very small job market

@bmitt429 According to Penn College graduate survey results, 83% of the graduating class of 2009 were employed as a dental hygienist by the end of 2009. Additionally, 95.8% overall had positive placement, meaning related employment or continuing education. If a Penn College graduate from any major is having difficulty establishing a career path, they are encouraged to utilize the free resources of the College's Career Services Office.

I hope she cleans that Keyboard after every patient. Imagine if she had blood on her gloves and transferred it to the computer keyboard and then to the next patients mouth.
