I have been on a waiting list for two years to get into take a course in Dental Assisting. I found out the other day that they have openings and that I just needed to show up with the money! So I did and I start classes in two weeks and they end in February. Then I can take the X-Ray course. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have wanted to do this for awhile, but just couldn't get in. This will at least get my foot in the door and find out if this is what I really want to do.
I would like to go for Dental Hygiene, but that's a 3yr Associates degree...This is a much cheaper route to get started. Who knows, maybe I would get in w/a dentist that would pay my tuition... I hope that my Dentist would hire me, my family has been going to them for a very long time now. This time around we have been there 10yrs, when we lived here before it was like 5yrs or something. So that would be cool. We'll see what happens, hopefully something good will come out of it.
I've been in retail management for over 8yrs now. I don't want to be in retail for the rest of my life. I hate it, but I seem to be good at it. Right now I am the Assistant Store Manager for Advance Auto Parts. I have been there for 6 months after spending over 7rs at Wal-Mart as a Department Manager. What sucks is I went from a Mon-Fri 7-4pm job to working weekends, night and 10hr days. I did it mostly b/c I HAD to get out of Wal-Mart. I do like it, but it's not what I want. They are wanting me to be a Store Manager within the next year or so. I don't know if I want that or not. It would be pretty cool, but I don't really want to run a store. I just like working with people, but I'm kinda burned out on retail.
I just wanted to share my news!!
