I'm currently working as a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) and making about $53/hour, but I only average around 24 hours a week due to the small office I work in. I completed my A.S. in Science and Arts in 2016, followed by a BSc in Geology with an Environmental Concentration in 2018, along with minors in Biology and Humanities, plus a certificate in mapping software. My work experience includes a year in a Hydrogeology Laboratory, a year in a Histology Laboratory, a brief stint as a Construction Materials Technician, and a few months as an IT Analyst before I settled into my current role in dental hygiene. While I am somewhat comfortable with my salary, I’m frustrated with the lack of employer health insurance and paid time off, which is common in the dental industry. I’m not facing any major financial burdens right now, but I feel lost in terms of career direction. I’ve been contemplating a transition into a new field that offers a 40-hour work week, employer-provided health insurance, and a salary comparable to what I currently earn. I’ve thought about returning to the Environmental field, but I’ve heard it can be underpaid and often demands long hours. I also considered pursuing a role in chemistry lab work, but I faced challenges breaking into that area due to my educational background. I’m open to suggestions and would appreciate any guidance on potential career paths that align with my skills and interests.
