[QUOTE="ND2020, post: 293644, member: 20237"] I’ll bite... Originally had my eyes of going into IT/computer science, but my best friend was going to dental school to take over the family practice. He turned me onto the idea of becoming a dental hygienist. Went through a dental assisting school program in which we toured our local dental lab, thought it was pretty cool because the thought never crossed my mind and it was right up my alley. D ealing with the public was always kind of a turn off to me. During the assisting program, did several externships one at a GP and the second an ortho office. Spent a year at the above mentioned friends family practice, the dad retired and the friend uprooted and moved out of state leaving me jobless. Luckily I had made a good impression (no pun intended) at the ortho office previously and they offered me a job. Spent 3 years working there prn as I was going through the dental hygiene program. M ade it a full year into the program and decided it wasn’t for me. Applied to the lab after that, it was a good 6 months before they called for an interview. Meanwhile I was working at a metal-forming job to pay the bills. Local lab offered me a job into their ortho department and I’ve been here since. Started as a model person and now I’m a supervisor. Love what I do, but sometimes I wonder if I should have stuck with IT....:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
