 Hi everybody, Andrea Mieske here with dental ill tutoring. You might notice my change in scenery I had to completely change around my office because I have invested in some proper lighting equipment So I needed to have the lighting's kind of in certain areas Now you can't tell the lighting in this video too much because two of my lights didn't work I did order them and the light bulbs don't work So I have to send it back and get another one, but I do have one light right there So hopefully the video is a little bit brighter for you guys But um anyways you guys probably don't need to hear about my lighting equipment but I just wanted to let you guys know in case you were wondering and My puppies in the room with me sleeping So hopefully he leaves me alone while I do this video because I wanted to talk to you guys about Why dental hygiene or dental assisting or pretty much any dental Profession is a good profession to get into because I am part of some dental hygiene groups on Facebook And there's so much negativity in them I'm not saying all of them and I'm not saying that everybody's negative But I find just so many people are trying to tell students to get out that it's not a good profession that it's bad It's not bad. It just it takes a certain person and you might be wondering well Why are people saying it's so bad then um? I don't know. Maybe they just simply had different expectations, but it does depend on the office year in I have worked for some horrible offices that I hated what I did I thought I love the profession, but this office or you know this office in particular that I'm thinking about I Would have half an hour appointments to clean teeth. The boss was awful patients just weren't very nice I was constantly behind. I was just like work work work work work It was awful. So yes, I didn't like what I did So I'm thinking that's why there are some negative hygienists out there basically telling people to get out because if that's well If that's what you guys have to deal with that's horrible But I have worked for some amazing offices including my situation now where I would temp dental hygienists well technically I Quit my full-time job about a year ago now Maybe almost a year and a half ago to tutor full-time, but then I realized how much I missed the full-on patient aspect and Schooling took me forever. So I didn't just simply want to quit that So I was a dental receptionist dental assistant dental hygienist and a restorative hygienist as well So all of that money all of that time I didn't just simply want to stop But right now I work twice a week sometimes three times a week So not all the time three times a week So two to three times a week in hygiene And I tutor so I pretty much work from home for the most part tutoring and teaching But I work twice or three times a week in a dental office and I work for a for a great office Wonderful office. I love it. We have hour-long appointments. We get 20-minute breaks for every five-hour shift amazing There's a full-size lunch room our boss is amazing Our whole staff our whole team is amazing if I need time off no problem It happens if I call in sick no problem It happens whereas if you work for a horrible office, you might not feel comfortable calling sick You might not get breaks. You might not even have a lunch room. You know, there are so many things So don't listen to people who say that that's the dental profession is horrible because it's not I love it I think you just have to work for a great office and you need to do what works for you If you want to work full-time you can work full-time if you want to work part-time You can easily work part-time if you want to work in one office No problem if you want to work in several offices, no problem You can also make the money that you want to make within reason, of course So ask dental hygienists in your area what they make so then that way you know what to ask for Join the groups on Facebook and just ask them, you know for dental hygienists Let's say in London, Ontario, Canada How much do you make per hour if you don't mind sharing so then you know how how much to ask I'm part of the Ontario Dental hygiene network. So come on in Say hi and ask questions They are all so helpful and the nice thing too is that if you want to be attempt So just sort of work when you want to if if you can afford that in the Ontario dental hygiene network group We have job postings all the time for Ontario So if you're in the States, obviously it doesn't apply to you, but come on in you guys have a look This is a great profession.
