Anyone work as a Dental Assistant? If so, how do you like it? How much do you make?

Do you get health benefits? I am thinking about finding a job as a Dental Assistant. Do I need a certificate for it? How much do you make?

I used to be a Dental Assitant and I liked it. I made anywhere from $10-$13 an hour depending on the office. There were some health benefits, but that also depended on the office. You do have to go to school for it and get certified and in some states you need to be licensed as well, you make more money if you are licensed too.
