Dunno what its like in other countries

shannyn- In the uk its not necessary for you to be qualified but next year they are bringing out a law where you do have to be qualified before you work in a surgery, I am unqualified and was getting 6.50 (pounds) per hour although I was there for 2 years before I got a pay rise, I suppose it would also depend on whether the practise is NHS or private, qualified you could earn between 15-20 grand a year so its worth going to college and getting your qualification, wish I had, kicking myself now!!! Hope this helps

You would be more informed and accurately so if you pitched your question under Career .
Most qualified dental nurses are abysmally paid their always chopping and changing their jobs .
I don't think you can expect a better deal being Unqualified

10 years ago, with no experience, I started out at $7.50 an hour
