Yes. .. most schools are only a few thousand.
Go to the Community College for the course. . .do not go to a
'technical school like; Tree branch professional study campus for dental and medical assisting" many of those places teach the same for 2x the cost.
Dental assts only make around $10 - $12 an hour starting out.
(if that)
That sounds like way too much for vocational school. Please instead look at the local county vo-tech schools which should be a lot more affordable than those private expensive schools.
