[QUOTE="John in Canada, post: 276665, member: 18628"] Agree with James, and grantoz with respect to experience. In fact this post has actually bothered me for a couple days now. You can't even get a certification in any discipline without 5 years experience-there's a reason of that. there's LOTS to learn. Funny, I opened my first construction company at 20. By the time I was 23 I had 5 full time guys working for me. When my wife at the time suggested that I open that business, I said, "who is going to believe a 20 year old has any experience?" I had been working by my dads side since I was 7 or 8. Changed out my first hot water tank at age 10 totally unsupervised doing the gas and sweating the pipes in 1.5 hours, and perfectly! Guess that's why I had plenty of business in those early days. But I did everything-framing, drywall, gas fitter, electric, roofing, masonry, ceramic, plumbing, etc. And pulling the permits to do it all. Definitely NOT trying to dissuade you from opening, BUT, I am a believer in knowing many ways to do a job, and that takes time. And, there's so much more to just doing dentures in Dental Technology. Why would you want to pigeon hole yourself to just dentures? Or just C&B, or just Ceramics? for that matter. Also part of my beef with production labs is that's exactly what people do day in and day out, the same thing, day after day. And lots don't allow cross training, and I'm totally against that! I get bored that way. Gimme a great combo fixed with removable case, and I'm happy like a pig in ....mud! I know, different strokes for different folks. Just want the OP to have YOUNG, open eyes as to all the possibilities in the field when you take the time to LEARN what's available, and then make a move to do your own thing. Work in several different labs first. You pick up so many great tidbits, and set up methodologies, waxing techniques, processing and finishing methods, and on and on. Go get 'em tiger! [/QUOTE]
