I found this out after i called a college consular and looked at salaries and was all hyped up for it becuase everything looked good and salaries between 27-35 an hour!

I talked to my girlfriend (which i have had for 2 years) and she is ok with it but everywhere i look on the web guys seems to get discriminated because of it in a joking way but i also know of some guys (few amount) that said they loved the job and all the benefits it yields and how there is nothing predominatly for women about the job, It also one of the top growing careers for a 2-4 year degree so iwanted to know my chances of me doing the job being a male ..

So guys what do u think about my situation? to feminine? (my hygienist is a girl :( )
Well, their're a lot of guy nurses these days. I haven't ever seen a male hygienist but it doesn't mean you couldn't do it. If you want the big money go be a pharmacist. their starting pay has tripled in the past ten years.
