I was also perplexed that it wasn't in the top 10.

I was kinda surprised how many healthcare jobs were on the list, but I guess it makes sense.

It's typically a two year pre-program, then two years of dental hygiene school, I believe.

Ah ok...did not know that. I had heard that you just needed an associates.
I would have done that if it didn't involve staring into people's mouths. I could not handle that.

I guess it's good to be a mix of both then
I think it's probably due to expected growth, health care isn't going anywhere and IT is in pretty much every field.

Yeah a girl I went to high school with is a dental hygienist and just bought herself a new set of tits, brand new car, and house and she's single. I've always wondered how much she made, or if she was just in serious debt.
I'm guessing she's in serious debt.

I honestly don't know what I'd do if I were graduating high school today.
I'm not the type or IT or healthcare but it's good for those who are

I guess this is true for a massive company. If you're the "marketing" person at a mom & pop, it's shite.
Guess we'll see in 10 years
