Dental Hygienist or Massage Therapist?

[Jasmine]

I am debating which program I want to enroll in. I have taken courses in Massage Therapy but I would have to start from the beginning. I enjoyed learning different techniques; however I am worried about the demand of the career. I know about massage therapy, but I only know a little about the hygiene field. I could break into either field because I know people that work in both. The times of the programs are about the same; I'm not sure which would be the stronger choice.

There is a much greater demand for massage therapy. You have the option to work where you want, charge what you want, and often be your own boss. You can open your own business, get additional training in skin care, open your own spa, etc.

With dental hygiene, you are a dental hygienist, that's it! Plus, it's very difficult to find a job.
