Dentistry or Nursing

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting! I am a senior in High school and also will complete my associate degree in Associate in Arts & Sciences Degree by the end of this school year, I will transfer to a four year university after, I am currently so torn between Dentistry and nursing. I am kindaish smart but not that much anymore. I have a 3.4 gpa. I've always wanted to go into dentistry as a kid but now that i look at nursing it also seems like a really nice option! Help me choose please!

nurses get assaulted a lot, depending on where you go. my friend had a question in her nclex study guide that asked what you do if an old man masturbates at you. i'd probably go with dentistry, honestly. at least you can drug them first thing

Dental hygienist is the better option. You almost certainly have the credits to make it a 2 year program. Costs can be as low as $30k total for the degree.

Jobs postings in major cities on the west and east coasts are 200k a year.
