Which one of these carreer gets paid more for a starter?
Dental assistant has a higher hourly wage...yet, according to the bureau of labor and statistics, many dental assistants work part time or hold jobs at two different clinics. Hourly salary is about $13.00 average. It can be an on the job trained career, but there are also certification programs at many community colleges.
PT aides (not to be confused with PT assistants) can also be on the job trained...yet their salary tends to be much lower...usually in the $9-10 an hour range. There generally are not as many oppotunities for PT aides as their are dental assistants.
