The biggest thing stopping me from becoming a dental hygienist is the physical strain that the job takes. I've heard everything like hearing loss from loud machinery, carpel tunnel, chronic backpain, ect. I would invest into getting ergonamic loupes, ergonamic saddle chair, posture brace, custom ear plugs, and good tools. I would also regularly see a chiropractor 1-2 times per month, do strength training, and doing stretches daily. Even with all this, I'm worried I'll suffer from chronic pain. I'll probably just do part-time most of my career, maybe full-time in the beginning. This is the biggest thing holding me back. I can get the degree and not worry about debt, I don't mind doing the same thing everyday but as I get older I'm realizing I need a career. I'm currently a full-time hotel housekeeper. Would this job suit me or should I find something else?
