Why would anyone want to be a dental assistant when they're paid so little...?

Usually being a virtual assistant is a requirement to be an experienced dentist, the best way to learn from 0, is to learn from someone experienced in real time.

Honestly? I had no idea what I wanted to do after highschool, and I kept hearing that jobs were guaranteed after college as a dental assistant so I went for it. The job security is a definite plus, but I have some regrets.

I love being a Dental assistant, I have been for 18 years ! My pay started at $10 an hour back in 2004 now I make $32 an hour which I feel is fair

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
