I already told you. My hygienist earns $38/hr plus 3 weeks paid vacation,
paid holidays, matching pension plan, and health insurance. That's an
$85k/year compensation package (based upon a 40 hour week...but she only
works 32 hr/week) for a lady who spent two years in hygiene school after
high school.

My assistant earns $20/hr and all the same benefits. Not bad for someone
with one year of assisting school after high school.


This may seem exorbitant to you, but it did it occur to you that they
have to live in an expensive area? You'v bragged about how many
millionaires liver there. Compare their standard of living to your own,
you may not find it so lavish.

In some parts of the country, living expenses & taxes are so high that
$85K/yr is barely above the poverty level. Any less, you'd have to move.



It costs $250/hr to run the average dental practice...plus lab bills.

Is that a national average? Sounds a bit low for the medical field.
