I’m 30 years old, and am considering being a male dental hygienist. Being that it’s predominantly a female job, do you think I would be better off pursuing something else?

Where are you located? Depending on your desired location, there could be saturation that could impact your job searches.

I don't know how saturated AL is. I'm in the Pacific NW. After the Covid Crisis, we hope to hire more hygienists. We work on Medicaid so it may not be as glamorous. In areas that have a lot of dental group companies, you may have more opportunities.
