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.

But dental fees aren't that much higher down here.






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.


ANd let not forget that Fla. has no state income tax


Yes. National average, for my size office (3 operatories). That's a
half a
million in expenses per year. That sounds low to you?
