I have an Associates of Arts degree, but I changed my major and decided maybe I shouldn't do Xray Technician anymore. I honest can't work 2 years full time for free for that program. So I decided maybe I could be a Dental Hygienist. I really don't know what schools to go to. UMKC offered the program but I think it's just a bachelor's or higher. I'm really looking for just an Associates right now. I do see technical schools such as Concord.. I live in Kansas City, MO. I was always taught to avoid schools like that. Idk.. I'm really kinda lost right now what I want to do. But I think I will give the Dental thing a shot and I want to stick to it. Is there any one who can give me info like a couple of schools that offer Associates degree for Dental hygienist. Also do I really need to get a bachelors? I see that most have Associates degree and do well. Please, your opinion will be greatly appreciated, voted best answer or not. I'm really lost and in life about what I want to do for a caree
