Whichever one gets your license to you for the least money in the least
time.

> The average starting salary for Dental hygienist?

$28-$35/hr around Kansas City

Yes.

Depends upon what you want to do with your life.

If you have the prerequisite classes, a high GPA, and want to be a
dentist, yes.

Best wishes,

I don't think any dentist cares that much which school the RDH graduates
from.  I have seen good and lousy from each RDH training facility in
Michigan.

Salary will range from $27-$35 and hour  (higher salaries are less likely to
include any benefits)

Demand in Michigan is down slightly from 5 years ago.  It is a field
populated mostly with women (please do not take offense), which means there
is always jobs opening up.  Ladies do not tend to work full time and do not
tend to work for their whole life.  They get pregnant, raise kids, work
part-time, take summers off, etc.

A Dentist is a totally different creature from an RDH.  If you are seriously
considering both as a career, we can discuss the merits each way for a few
days.  Your call.
