The first thing you should do is call your own dentist up, and tell him or her that you really want to work in the field, and would like to talk to him/her for a few minutes when he/she has the time. Most likely, the dentist will be happy to give you his/her opinion, suggestions and be wonderfully flattered that you took the time to come there. If this is a person whom you really admire, and you have a long-standing patient-doctor relationships, you might even be able to get a part-time job there, in the office, or an internship as you work on your studies. How great would that be? Also, the dentist probably has assistants who took different routes to the same job, and they might be willing to talk to you...and the dentist will certainly have an opinion about the better way to go, training-wise. Also, look into community colleges, as they do often have programs that are cheaper per credit-hour than 4-year institutions. Not sure about your state, and its licensing requirements, but sometimes, the dentist is able to take a person with minimal training and teach them on-the-job. It certainly would be worth looking into! Good luck!

You do not need to go to any kind of school to become a dental assistant. The best route is to be hired by a dental office that is willing to train you. I trained all my staff myself. Some states require certification or licensure to be able to perform certain procedures and this is where going through a dental assisting program would benefit you because it prepares you for the exams you will need to pass. I have personally found whether a person has attended a program or not made no difference in job performance. What was important was the person's desire to be the best at what he/she could be.

do you want to be a cheif or a chef?

Well i dont know much about texas but I want to become a pastry cheif to. go to pastry school and they will probibly give info on that. Hope i help! - Ava
3 :
Study hard in elementary school and pass English first!! then you can go to Texas Women's University and become a chef!!
4 :
I would recommend getting a Saturday job at your local bakery. They will advise you the best!
5 :
I would recommend working in a professional kitchen before thinking of going to culinary school. School will give you a great basis to start from, but I don't think it really makes a huge difference. All refined techniques are learned on the job. It's much safer to start out actually working in the field rather than spending thousands of dollars on culinary school and then you end up hating your job. It takes a special kind of weirdo to be a kitchen person. There is absolutely no glamor as seen on food network. Days are long and hard but if your one of those weirdos who I spoke of, the industry can be very rewarding. Also, keep in mind, starting out in this industry does not pay all that well until you're the boss or own the company. Then possibilities are endless but the kitchen can easily become your life. I don't mean to make it sound bad, because it's really not, but I definitely recommend testing the waters before shelling out for culinary school. Reading, watching TV and working in the industry can help propel yourself forward without ever stepping foot in a school. If after deciding this is really what you want to do, I'm all for culinary school. You can learn a lot about the science of it all which most people don't think about in the real world. The best of luck to you.

How much is the book "The Challenge of The Sea" by Arthur C. Clarke worth nowadays?
How much is the book "The Challenge of The Sea" by Arthur C. Clarke worth nowadays?
When a local private school was clearing out their library shelves (to get new books), they sold their old books and my sister who happened to study there got me a copy of the said book. It was published in 1960 by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston. The library did not purchase it by itself but it was rather a donation from The Flemming Foundation, Fort Worth, Texas in 1966. It's 50 years old yet the whole book is still intact, the words and illustrations are clear, as if only several years old, perfect condition though the pages and its corners are turning yellow from age, and there are few writings and library seals. Now, how much do you think is this book worth? (This was literally bought for a penny ($0.01), if converted into Philippine Pesos)

To which place would you move your family: Fort Worth or Austin?
To which place would you move your family: Fort Worth or Austin?
Hi. I have a family and want to move back to Texas. I have lived in Austin before, but the high cost of living, long hot/humid summers and congestion really got to me. I'm considering moving back to the state (from the midwest) and wonder whether I should think about Fort Worth, and perhaps reconsider Austin. Some of my priorities include low cost of living, short commutes, strong and friendly communities and good schools. If you have an opinion of which city you would prefer, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'd also like to know if you recently moved to one of the cities and found it easy to make friends. Thanks!

Thats like trying to decide between a vacation to Tampico Mexico or the Bahamas....its a no brainer. Austin without a doubt. I live in DFW and would move back to Austin in a sec of I had the chance. Less crime, better schools, more to do, closer to the beach, better food, better parks, and just a great place. Yes, they have more traffic and it costs more to live there but I would consider the outskirts like San Marcos. Good luck.
2 :
There is a nice community by Austin called Lockhart. Its about an hours drive. I lived in Austin while in college, but now that I am a family man, a nice quiet town is where I lay my head.
3 :
Austin hands down
4 :
I have to disagree with the rest of your responses, I say in the criteria that you are looking for, Ft. Worth is your best of the two options. Good Luck in your decision, I wish I could move back :(
5 :
Austin ... without hesitaiton.
6 :
Fort Worth always has absolutely terrible weather like severe tornadoes, floods, and hail that Dallas doesn't even see.
7 :
If you want lower cost of living, then move to FW. I've lived in FW for a long time now, but keep in mind the summers here can also be brutal. Depending on where you decide to live and where to work will determine your commute distance, but usually it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get anywhere. That CAN vary with traffic conditions. Hey - I love Austin too. But I'd rather visit than live there, because I couldn't afford rent! Hey - email me. I've lived all over FW and can tell you what is scary and what is okay!

There are several job search engines that you could check. One of them is called "Where Techs Connect". The Texas Assoc. of Registered Veterinary Technicians website and newsletter also posts job openings specifically in Texas. www.tarvt.org And the TVMA publication "Texas Veterinarian" posts job openings. Another online source for classified listings is www.vspn.org A more direct approach would be to put together a letter of intent and a resume and take it around to all the local veterinary clinics in your area. Then even if they aren't actively advertising now, if they need help in the future they will have your information on hand. May I ask why you went with a "career diploma" which basically doesn't count as anything (won't transfer to colleges, won't allow you to sit for the National Veterinary Technician Exam, not required to work as a veterinary assistant in any state) rather than going ahead with a college degree? It's great tht you want to get an education in the career field of your choice, but I'm curious as to your choice. And where you got this "career diploma" from because I've never heard of it. If you have questions about the veterinary assisting or veterinary technology fields in Texas, please feel free to contact me directly.

Where is a good place to buy a large rock?
Where is a good place to buy a large rock?
I had a plan at my school to create a spirit rock, a rock sitting somewhere at the school with our school colors on it. I'm trying to find a place to buy a large stone. Nothing too giant nor too small. I need to find something that will ship to the school and has to be around the Fort Worth, Texas area. Can anyone help or give me advice or even set me in the right direction? Thanks

Yes, contact a company that sells gravestones or a landscaping firm. There are better ways though both to spend money and promote school spirit. Why don't you get something useful instead like a bench.
2 :
Most garden centers sell rock. You buy it by the pound and pay accordingly. If you need a really large one they may deliver for free to the school.
3 :
Look around in the yellow pages under the listing "Rocks" you will find many local business's that sell landscaping rocks and boulders. In most cases if you buy a ton or more of rock the delivery will be free.

Hospitals have jobs for novices such as yourself, and I can't imagine that you wouldn't qualify for one of the unskilled positions. You may not like the job you qualify for, but it will give you an idea of the environment and its challenges. Start nursing school, whether you get a job at a hospital immediately or not. That's the only way to become a nurse.

This is what communirty colleges are for. Receive some kind of specialized training in one nursing area and you'll have your foot in, with access to job placement resources. Local community colleges also tend to have low in-state tuition.

There is a big nursing shortage in Florida. At one hospital here, they are paying tuition with a two yr committment to work there. There are many entry level positions that will be available in any hospital.

If you do not have experience work in a doctors office to get experience. There are other clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, conv home, quest home, etc. just send out 20 resumes at once. Continue education as an RN.

Check into getting a CNA license. Most hospitals need people who are licensed CNA's to work on the floors. In some cases, you might even get sponsorship to complete an RN by working as a CNA.
