How should I decide if I want to be a dentist or an ultrasound technician/sonographer?
I am a junior in high school and I'm having a hard time choosing what I want to become. My top choices are definitely a dentist or an ultrasound tech.

PLEASEEE help me decide because I feel like I should make a choice soon so I know where I want to go to college.
