    Dentist Hygiene or Nursing/Midwife? Which is better, career wise?
    I can't make up my mind!! I have read some people experience of a dental hygienist and some of them were terrible and extremely depressing! However the pay is much better. In today's world which job is better, to get a job in? I will be going college in September, the dental course last for 2 years and the Health and Social Course lasts for 1 year. I have an interest in both subjects! I was also thinking of becoming a midwife, which I can from completing H&S care, then
    going into UNI. Btw I am 17. Which is the best bet? Thank you!

    Both are two completely different fields of work. So it is literally down to personal preference. In midwifery, you will have a lot more patient interaction and contact. Midwifery appears more caring and building longer lasting relationships with patients as opposed to a dental hygienist. It's literally down to the career you think you'll enjoy and one which you can see yourself being happy in. They are both VERY different, so it depends upon you really...
